And I am running with the following launch: -vmargs -Xms512M -Xmx512M

I run out of memory on eclipse after a few hours using myeclipse ide. I get the following error

!ENTRY org.eclipse.ui 4 4 2005-12-02 14:15:39.178
!MESSAGE Unhandled event loop exception

!ENTRY org.eclipse.ui 4 0 2005-12-02 14:15:39.178
!MESSAGE PermGen space

This message is actually a little too general, you are technically running out of permSpace for objects; this is becomming typical with these larger Eclipse plugins like MyEclipse, the way you fix it is to add the following command line args:
-XX:PermSize=64M -XX:MaxPermSize=128M
