Answer 1

In your eclipse installation folder, find the eclipse.ini file and change

-Xms512m
-Xmx1024m

parameters according to your requirement.

Answer 2

You can use that faq http://wiki.eclipse.org/FAQ_How_do_I_increase_the_heap_size_available_to_Eclipse%3F

which indicates to modify the eclipse.ini file

the important ones

--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
512m
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-vmargs
-Xms1024m
-Xmx2048m
-XX:+UseParallelGC
-XX:PermSize=512M
-XX:MaxPermSize=2048M

Answer 3

Just add this in your eclipse VM arguments.

-XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Xmx1024m

and restart the server.

Answer 4

Go to Eclise.ini file(C:\\Program Files\\eclipse-standard-kepler-SR2-win32-x86_64\\eclipse\\eclipse.ini) and open it with a Notepad to edit: -Xms256m -Xmx1024m (as per Requirement)

This will increase the heap size and overcomes the error.

PS:for Windows 7 and above,"Run as Administrator" can only Save the Change.
