Out of Memory Error when using Eclipse
Oct 1st, 2009, 2:23am  
Hello,
My sketch loads a bunch of images. It loads them fine when running from the Processing app, but I get an OutOfMemoryError when I try to run it from Eclipse. Any ideas?
thanks,
-Morgan

Eclipse is eating lot of memory itself!
But well, I would look into memory settings of your Run configuration...
Run parameters like -Xms and -Xmx

Thanks. I have -Xmx1024M as one of the program arguments and that doesnt' seem to have worked. I'll fiddle around some more.

I found the page Java Virtual Machine (JVM) - Re: Maximum acceptable heap size interesting, as I was wondering what is the maximum we can set on this parameter.
The main advices are to avoid to allocate more than the available physical memory, taking in account an overhead.

I don't know how much memory you have, but this is good to keep in mind.

Found another page of interest: JVM Tuning. Talk about server side but the remarks are interesting anyway.
