I have following setup, but when I put 1024 and replace all 512 with 1024, then eclipse won't start at all. How can I have more than 512M memory for my eclipse JVM?

-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.201.R35x_v20090715.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_1.0.200.v20090519
-product
com.springsource.sts.ide
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
512M
-vm
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_18\bin\javaw 
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
-Xms512m
-Xmx512m
-XX:MaxPermSize=512m
