Eclipse 3.3 running out of memory

I've just started using Eclipse/PyDev (coming from a Vim
background, it's well
.. different), and so far I like it but I am having some
serious problems. I
don't know if this is caused by PyDev or if it is a general
Eclipse problem,
but Eclipse will consistently slow down noticeably and
eventually run out of
memory (I get an error dialog saying something like
"Java heap space"). This
is happening so frequently I can't work as effectively as I
should. I would
greatly appreciate any help in resolving this issue.

I am working on Ubuntu Feisty, using Eclipse 3.3.0 with the
latest updates,
PyDev 1.3.7 and Sun Java 1.6.0 (b105).

Hi Arve,

Honestly I rarely (can't remember the last time, really) get
an out of memory
error w/ Eclips (what are you doing!? 

(I also haven't been using the Eclipse/PyDev combo much
lately, but anyway)

Anyway, if you need more memory, you should be able to tweak
that through the
"eclipse.ini" file. I don't know where this would
be on linux (sorry, don't
have it installed here), but it's buried within the
application's folder on
my mac
(/Applications/eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse.in
i to
be precise)

You'll see -Xms and -Xmx (min/max memory for java,
respectfully) which you can
change.

Hope that helps,
-steve

Thanks. I'm not really doing anything special, just have a
few Python modules
open at the same time. This seems to happen when PyDev tries
to autocomplete
attributes where I can typically notice appreciable delay,
and then sometimes
Eclipse will crash. Eclipse also reports quite a few
exceptions, on the command
line, during operation that seem to originate from within
PyDev.

Fabio: I've installed 1.5 now, we'll see if I try it out
later. In the meantime
I've upped Eclipse's memory limit to 768MB, we'll see if
that stops it from
crashing. Can a high number of errors detected by PyDev's
code analysis be a
reason for high memory usage (currently it reports 2801
items)?

I'll try and save those exceptions for you when they occur
in the future. I've
btw. pasted the traceback from the last Eclipse crash at
http://rafb.net/p/Sm3
WhW20.html, if it's of interest to you.

Arve

I've had some more exception tracebacks printed to the
console and it seems
they are ultimately caused by out-of-memory conditions, it
turns out I'd adjusted
the memory usage of the Ubuntu-installed Eclipse (v3.2) and
not version 3.3
which I've installed now. After having turned on heap size
display in Eclipse,
I found that the upper limit on heap size was no more than
64MB. I've managed
to increase the maximum heap size for Eclipse 3.3 and
hopefully this will help.
One would think I am not the only one running into problems
with the default
heap size maximum?
