Why does Eclipse crash with Xmx, XX:MaxPermSize above certain values?
- by alex
Running Eclipse 3.5.1, JDK 1.6.0_17 on WinXP SP3 32Bit with 3.5 gigs of RAM.
I'm aware of the known Eclipse best practices, still trying to figure out eclipse.ini.
This will launch: -Xmx588m and this won't: -Xmx589m.
Same with -XX:MaxPermSize. Anything above -XX:MaxPermSize=140m won't launch.
The screen of death is simlar to this (taken from here).
Any ideas on why might this be happening?
