           Summary: Frequent OutOfMemory Errors while using Eclipse
           Product: openSUSE 10.3
           Version: Beta 2
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: Eclipse
          Severity: Major
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Java
        AssignedTo: bnc-team-java@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: scottolcott@xxxxxxxxx

          Found By: Third Party Developer/Partner


Hardware:

4gb memory
latest nvidia drivers installed

suse 10.3 beta 2 
java 1.6 (from install)

Whenever running eclipse I always get OutOfMemory errors.  I put the following
in /etc/eclipse.conf

VM_ARGS="-Xms128m -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=1024m"

After using eclipse for a few minutes it crashes with a heap space OutOfMemory
error.

doing ps -aux | grep eclipse shows the following vmargs
-vmargs Xms128m -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=1024m

Yet when I go into eclipse-> Help -> About Eclipse Platform -> Configuration
Details there is nothing there about vmargs.

On 10.2 when I do that the following line will be there:
eclipse.vmargs=-Xms128m -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=1024m

I think that for some reason eclipse is ignoring the command line parameters.

For example when I do the following:
eclipse -data /path/to/different/workspace

It still comes up with the pop up asking me which workspace I want to use. On
10.2 it will just open up eclipse in the the workspace I specified using -data
