Modify the -XmsAm
and -XmxBm
paremeters in eclipse.ini
so that they are large enough. The default is -Xms40m
-Xmx384m
. Try changing them both to -Xms512m
-Xmx512m
and restart eclipse to see if that helps. If not, continue to increase the values and restart eclipse until either one of two things happens:
- Your build completes.
- Eclipse won’t restart because you don’t have enough memory.
eclipse.ini
is located at /etc/eclipse.ini
in Ubuntu (assuming you installed Eclipse from the Ubuntu repositories).
For MAC please see:
Finding eclipse.ini is a wee bit tricky. To locate it, right-click on the Eclipse Application icon and select “Show Package Contents”, then double-click on the “Contents” folder and then double-click on the “MacOS” folder, the home of eclipse.ini
