After updating to 2.3.1-r3 form r2 I can no longer launch eclipse with eclipse-3.2 -vmargs -Xms256m -Xmx256m -XX:PermSize=64m -XX:MaxPermSize=64m and I am experiencing out of memory errors. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Update eclipse 2.run eclipse-3.2 -vmargs -Xms256m -Xmx256m -XX:PermSize=64m -XX:MaxPermSize=64m Actual Results: Error dialog is produced: JVM terminated. Exit code=1 /usr/bin/java -Xms256m -Xmx256m -XX:PermSize=64m -XX:MaxPermSize=64m -vmargs -jar /usr/lib/eclipse-3.2/startup.jar -os linux -ws gtk -arch x86 -launcher /usr/lib/eclipse-3.2/eclipse -name Eclipse -showsplash 600 -exitdata 1cd000e -vm /usr/bin/java -vmargs -Xms256m -Xmx256m -XX:PermSize=64m -XX:MaxPermSize=64m -vmargs -jar /usr/lib/eclipse-3.2/startup.jar Expected Results: Application launch. I can get eclipse to start by removing the vmargs however i run out of memory. This can probably attributed to this new ebuild not updating my kde menu. $ emerge --info Portage 2.1.4.4 (default-linux/x86/no-nptl, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.5-r4, 2.6.24-gentoo-r3 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.24-gentoo-r3 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.00GHz Timestamp of tree: Wed, 30 Apr 2008 16:33:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 3.2_p17-r1 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.1.4 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r9 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.11.1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.16 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.26 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.23-r3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=prescott -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/config /var/lib/hsqldb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=prescott -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" LANG="en_US" LC_ALL="en_US" LINGUAS="en_US" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 aac alsa apm berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cdr cli cracklib crypt cups curl dbus dri dvd dvdread emboss encode firefox flac flash foomaticdb fortran ftp gdbm gif gpm gstreamer gtk2 iconv imlib isdnlog java jpeg jpg jpg2k kde kdeenablefinal libwww mad midi mikmod mmx mmx2 mmxext motif moznoxft mp3 mpeg mudflap musepack ncurses nls nsplugin ogg opengl openmp oss pam pcre pdf perl png pppd python qt qt3 qt4 quicktime readline real reflection samba sdl seamonkey session speex spell spl sse sse2 ssl tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb videos vorbis wav win32codecs x86 xml xorg xscreensaver xv xvid zlib" ALSA_CARDS="intel8x0" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en_US" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="v4l vesa vga fbdev" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
So restricting Eclipse to this low amount of memory obviously doesn't cut it (anymore). Make sure you have a lot more memory available for this application.
