While I'm editing source code, that contains JavaScript (no matter is there only JavaScript, JavaScript in HTML code or JavaScript in PHP code), Eclipse gets frozen and then "Java heap space" error occurs. This problem is the same in PHP and JavaScript perspectives. Problem disappears if JavaScript support is disabled on project. But in this case I haven't JavaScript code assist.
Hi Nimruhil, Can you attach some sample code or project that can reproduce this bug? Thanks.
(In reply to comment #1) > Hi Nimruhil, > Can you attach some sample code or project that can reproduce this bug? Thanks. Unfortunately I can't because the project problem occures on too large. In addition i'd have a problem on my work if i share it. I've got some files from that project and put them to separate project. Bug doesn't occurs on this small project. Seemingly there should be a lot of code in project for reproducing this error. Anyway i've made some more observations regarding this error. It occurs not only when editing code. Often i got it when Eclipse building workspace. Several times i got a "GC overhead" error. Also Eclipse slows down when JavaScript support enabled. It seems like Eclipse makes some indexes (or something like this) for JavaScript code and this indexes are too large. So Eclipse overflows memory of java machine.

In the log, I can't see any code of PDT. So I'm not sure what's the problem. I suggest you to increase the Eclipse's startup min/max memory settings.
(In reply to comment #5) > I suggest you to increase the Eclipse's startup min/max memory settings. Value of --launcher.XXMaxPermSize parameter in my eclipse.ini file is 256m. In spite of this size of javaw.exe process is 500+ Mb usually. Sometimes it reaches 600+Mb. Anyway i tried to increase the value of --launcher.XXMaxPermSize parameter to 512Mb and then to 1024Mb. The only apparent result of this was an increasing of time interval between moments when Eclipse starts slowing down and when it throws an error.
move to JSDT

That parameter controls the maximum amount of memory for Permanent Generation, a value separate from that which controls the Heap size. What's the maximum allowed heap size?
Resolving since I think the max heap size wasn't properly increased, and we've done other work to reduce our heap usage.
