Eclipse hangs my Win7 8gb RAM together with adb.exe

Question

Eclipse together with adb.exe which i already suspected that suspended my Win7 8gb ram. why? + the fact that it doesn't run; I mean, it doesn't show the workspace. btw I am using eclipse with GAE and android, any conflict using both or is it ok nothing to worry?

Answer 1

Try with a fresh installation of Android SDK. The system hangs when the adb.exe or any other file in the SDK gets corrupt.

Answer 2

Increase you Xmx size for your eclipse, you can increase this in eclipse.ini(configuration settings file). It works

Answer 3

Seems Eclipse is running out of memory. Open the eclipse.ini file which is located in your eclipse folder, and increase the heap size.

You will get something as below

-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.100.v20080501.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_64_1.0.100.v20080428-1330
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
-vm
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/bin/java
-vmargs
-Xms512m
-Xmx1024m
-XX:+UseParallelGC
-XX:PermSize=256M
-XX:MaxPermSize=512M

Now increase the Xmx to a higher value. May be something like 1024
