[FIXED] Max value of Xmx and Xms in Eclipse?

Issue

My settings for these values in eclipse.ini are:

-Xms768M
-Xmx1024M

When setting them higher, Eclipse doesn't start anymore. Is there a way to increase these values without Eclipse crashing?

Solution

The maximum values do not depend on Eclipse, it depends on your OS (and obviously on the physical memory available).

You may want to take a look at this question: Max amount of memory per java process in Windows?
