How can I increase the -XXMaxPermGen jvm settings in Jboss under eclipse Juno?

[mpardee]

folks:

after upgrading to eclipse Juno, Jboss now starts with a set of JAVA_OPTS that are so low that I get an Out of Memory error, PermGen sp, when doing almost anything with the server.

Changing settings in my Shell definition of JAVA_OPTS,  Jboss' run.sh and run.conf files, or the eclipse runtime ini file have no effect on the reported JVM memory sizes shown when the server starts.

I have done a fair amount of googling,  which suggests things i have already tried,  and doing a find/grep on my file system looking for the offending memory setting.  no joy.

It seems to me (newbie that i am) that the gizmo called "JBossTools is launching my instance of the JBoss server inside of eclipse,  but i have had no luck tracking down where or how this element starts. (see console output below)

any hints on this one would be greatly appreciated.

Denis instructions are correct, but the settings are not lower than before afaik. Sounds like you are saying it worked in earlier releaeses ?

[dgolovin]

yes, settings are the same, nothing seems to be changed in nightly build from trunk.

Forgot to tell that "Always update arguments related to runtime" should be unchecked,

Denis,

thanks for the Tip.  is didn't know I had that Jboss panel in this version of eclipse.  Should've poked around some more i guess,  but went for the same old tricks i knew frm before.

thanks again,

martin

This checkbox does not update or overwrite memory arguments. It only updates arguments that take details from the runtime, like runtime location or the location of files inside the runtime.
