Answer 1

You can change the size of perm gen in config or .ini file packed with eclipse.

You need to add one line

-XX:MaxPermSize=256m

at the end

Answer 2

You can better try -XX:MaxPermSize=128M rather than -XX:MaxPermGen=128M or

add -XX:MaxPermSize=256m

Answer 3

if you use eclipse IDE than with use of it you can change the VM argument

double click on the server > open Lunch Configuration > Arguments > VM Arguments

and append below two lines in your VM Arguments field

-Xms256m -Xmx1024m -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote
-XX:PermSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m

it will sure solve your problem

Answer 4

run your eclipse with this command

eclipse -vmargs -XX:PermSize=64M -XX:MaxPermSize=128M
