Allthough I modified '/etc/eclipse.conf' and added '-XX:MaxPermSize=256M' to the VM_ARGS this doesn't seem to have any effect. Investigating in a running eclipse 'Help > About Eclipse SDK > Configuration Details' shows the problem: *** System properties: .. -vm /usr/lib64/jvm/java/bin/java -vmargs -Xms256m -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256M -vm /usr/bin/java eclipse.ee.install.verify=false eclipse.home.location=file:/usr/lib64/eclipse/ eclipse.launcher=/usr/lib64/eclipse/eclipse eclipse.product=org.eclipse.sdk.ide eclipse.startTime=1231249746644 eclipse.vm=/usr/bin/java eclipse.vmargs=-jar /usr/share/eclipse/./plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.100.v20080509-1800.jar .. As you can see 'eclipse.vmargs' is empty, although the '-vmargs -Xms256m -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256M' was passed.

Yes, but I experienced the 'java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space' errors before that update with the OpenJDK 1.6.0-b12 version too. If I start eclipse from command line by hand while removing the additionally and wrongly added '-vm /usr/bin/java -vmargs' like below, it works fine: # /usr/bin/java -jar /usr/share/eclipse/./plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.100.v20080509-1800.jar -os linux -ws gtk -arch x86_64 -showsplash -launcher /usr/lib64/eclipse/eclipse -name Eclipse --launcher.library /usr/lib64/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_64_1.0.100.v20080606/eclipse_1114b.so -startup /usr/share/eclipse/./plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.100.v20080509-1800.jar -exitdata 4b0005 -vm /usr/lib64/jvm/java/bin/java -vmargs -Xms256m -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256M -jar /usr/share/eclipse/./plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.100.v20080509-1800.jar -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Just remove all quotes from last command in /usr/bin/eclipse, because it causes in a wrong argument passing (concatenate of several arguments to one). With launch command /usr/share/eclipse/eclipse $ECLIPSE_OPTS $@ $VM_OPTS works perfectly. The arguments are read from /etc/eclipse.conf and ~/.eclipserc or can be overriden via command line. For example: $ cat /etc/eclipse.conf # The directory where to find the workspace by default. USER_DIR="$HOME/.eclipse" # The JVM to use. If you have jpackage-utils installed, you shouldn't set this. #JAVACMD="" # Arguments to pass to the JVM. VM_ARGS="-XX:MaxPermSize=512M -Xms512m -Xmx1024m" $ eclipse -vm /usr/lib64/jvm/java-1.6.0-sun-1.6.0.u11/jre/bin/java -vmargs -XX:MaxPermSize=256M -Xms256m -Xmx2048m will causes in eclipse.vm=/usr/lib64/jvm/java-1.6.0-sun-1.6.0.u11/jre/bin/java eclipse.vmargs=-XX:MaxPermSize=256M -Xms256m -Xmx2048m -jar and a run without arguments use the values from eclipse.conf $ eclipse eclipse.vm=/usr/lib64/jvm/java/bin/java eclipse.vmargs=-XX:MaxPermSize=512M -Xms512m -Xmx1024m I'll try to release a fix for this bug together with a serious problem with Updates (bnc#436894), which wasn't fixed in 11.1 ... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
