[jccartwright]

Hello,

I’m frequently getting the error “less than 5% of the 64MB of Perm Gen (Non-heap memory) space remains”

This is spite of the fact that I’ve increased the memory parameters in the eclipse.ini :

-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
–launcher.XXMaxPermSize 256m
-vmargs
-Xdock:icon=../Resources/Eclipse.icns
-XstartOnFirstThread
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
-Xms256m
-Xmx768m
-XX:PermSize=128m
-XXMaxPermSize=256m

Below is an excerpt from the configuration detail.

Can you please help me with this?

Thanks!

John,
Can you go to MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details and paste the information here for me.

[janner]

last parameter should be:
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m
note the ‘:’ after -XX

janner – nice catch.
