Description
Wayne Beaton
Yes, that's fine with me... the Xmx option is something we can easily change in our builds, but I am unsure about the MaxPermSize option. AFAIK MaxPermSize is something that is necessary with a Sun JVM, but what happens if someone is using a JVM from IBM, ... (I cannot provide the complete list of JVM's here). Of course, I can add this option to the eclipse.ini file, and this is in fact one of the first steps I always do when I've installed a new version from Eclipse. Is there someone out there who can guarantee that Eclipse will run on other JVM's with this option? Or what's your experience with that option, Wayne?

I haven't had any recent experience with any other JVMs. Good news...
We've been testing it with different JVMs and we couldn't find any problems with any of the JVMs (IBM, JRockit and Apple), but there is another new option of the launcher that we will use for MaxPermSize:
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize <value> (Executable) NEW
If specified, and the executable detects that the VM being used is a Sun VM, then the launcher will automatically add the -XX:MaxPermSize=<value> vm argument. The executable is not capable of detecting Sun VMs on all platforms.
Maximum memory (Xmx) is a standard parameter and should work with all JVMs.
solved... see eclipse.ini |
