How to set -Xss in Eclipse?

Question

My problem is that I want to increase the default stack size when running a Java project in Eclipse. I've tried looking for the answer, and it looks like I need to set the -Xss option to a larger number, but I don't know how to access/set this value.

I'm on a Windows machine, running Eclipse 3.6.0. How would I set this option? I guess, specifically, I'm asking for the steps for how I could

1. find out what the default value for the stack size is, and
2. set that value to something higher.

Thanks!

Answer 1

In the DebugAs configuration, put the value into the JVM options box.

That answers #2. I don't know the answer to #1.

Answer 2

All default parameters to Eclipse can be ovewritten in the configuration file eclipse.ini, including the heap size.
