When downloading a fresh Eclipse version (e.g. Eclipse Mars 4.5 (M4) from here: https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/index-developer.php), the eclipse.ini file looks like this:


------------------------------------------------------------------
-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v20140415-2008.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1.200.v20141210-0918
-product
org.eclipse.epp.package.dsl.product
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256M
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
--launcher.appendVmargs
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.6
-Xms128m
-Xmx1024m
------------------------------------------------------------------

it contains two instances of 

--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256M

Thanks for the report. 

I think it's been this way for a long time, but I'll check.

I think this was fixed with the changes in bug 459558.
