Problems with Eclipse on Windows 7 64bit

Question

Hello everybody.

I'm using since today Eclipse on Windows 7 64bit. So eclipse is still pretty virgin, i just installed android plugin for it.

And I have many memory problems with it, which I didn't have with a worse computer however on 32-bit-Windows XP.

Did anybody make the same experience and what have you done to fix this out of memory errors?!

I read somewhere, that it's recommended to install beside JRE 64bit also the 32bit-version. Could it be true?

Thanks in advance,

Mur

Answer 1

Try to set higher Heap size using following options in your eclipse.ini file:

  -Xms512m -Xmx1024m

Here I am setting max heap size as 1024 MB. eclipse.ini file can be found in eclipse installation directory.
