https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=368537 Summary: Problems with size of permanent generation heap in Eclipse Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Keywords: Eclipse Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Development AssignedTo: pth@novell.com ReportedBy: Markus.Elfring@web.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- It happens that the software development environment vanishes too often. One famous "reason" (http://www.jroller.com/agileanswers/entry/preventing_java_s_java_lang) can also be found in my log file. !ENTRY org.eclipse.ui 4 0 2008-03-08 18:07:40.531 !MESSAGE Unhandled event loop exception !STACK 0 java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space I wonder why this occurred while the opening of a context menu was processed because of a right click on a node in the project explorer view. My file "/usr/share/eclipse/eclipse.ini" contained the following settings. -showsplash org.eclipse.platform -vmargs -Xms128m -Xmx1256m -XX:NewSize=128m -XX:PermSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=300m The monitoring tool "JConsole 1.6.0_04-b12" displayed that 86016 KB were allocated in the memory pool "PS Perm Gen" when the application was aborted. A issue about potential classloader leaks is interesting. http://blogs.sun.com/fkieviet/entry/classloader_leaks_the_dreaded_java -- 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.
