GC overhead limit exceeded in Eclipse

Error:- GC overhead limit exceeded in Eclipse


When it occur;-

           Eclipse will throw "GC overhead limit exceeded in eclipse" error when it runs on the out of memory.And one more thing is when you want to run  the eclipse on 64bit machine it requires more space .
To fix this problem we need to allocate more memory for eclipse.


How to Fix:

           Go to the your root folder of Eclipse. (where you can installed in your system) .
           Open that folder.
           In that folder find the eclipse.ini file.

           The file looks like below


          -startup
           plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v20120522-1813.jar
          --launcher.library
           plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1.200.v20120522-1813
            -product
             org.eclipse.epp.package.java.product
         --launcher.defaultAction
            openFile
          --launcher.XXMaxPermSize
           256M
           -showsplash
           org.eclipse.platform
           --launcher.XXMaxPermSize
          256m
          --launcher.defaultAction
          openFile
         -vmargs
         -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
         -Dhelp.lucene.tokenizer=standard
         -Xms40m
         -Xmx1384m





Chang the following lines as
 
         -Xms40m     AS      -Xms512m
         -Xmx384m  AS      -Xmx1024m


  Restart the eclipse.problem will resolved.
