OUT of memory in STS 2.9.2 and 3.0.1

[Ini]

Hi All,
i am consistently getting the java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space consistently for my applications.
But at the same time , my other team members are not facing any such issues. i tries taking their STS.ini file as well but that is of no help.
my current STS.ini looks like
-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.springsource.sts.ide
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256M
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.6
-Xms128m
-Xmx768m
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m
-XX:+UseFastAccessorMethods

an early help will be much appriciated
Thanks,
Ini

Hey!

I am not sure whether I understood you correctly: you are getting "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space" errors for your running STS or for own applications that you start from within STS?

In the first case, did you try to change the -XX:MaxPermSize setting in your STS.ini?

Cheers,

Hey!

Okay, that explains why changing the STS.ini file doesn't help. The apps that you are starting from within STS are being launched into a separate JVM - what gets its own configuration. Depending on how you launch your app, you should configure the PermGen space size in the VM arguments section of your launch configuration.

If you are running your apps in the tc Server default instance, you should go to your launch configs and create a duplicate of the existing tc Server launch config. Then change the settings in that duplicated launch config and run your server from there.

Otherwise you don't need to duplicate your launch configuration, just change it and run your app again.

HTH,
Martin

Thanks a lot Martin, configuring the PermGen space size in the VM arguments section worked for me .
Thanks a lot once again
