I am using eclipse for about a year now, and I was very pleased with the programming environment. I constantly increased the amount of plugins and extensions.

The problem is that I apparently use too much heap space. When I start up eclipse, it gives a bunch of errors and its basically advising me to shut down.

Example: 

An internal error occurred during: "Decoration Calculation".
Java heap space

When I then run the Memory analyzer, it gives the following report:

One instance of "com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.internal.sdk.Sdk" loaded by
"com.android.ide.eclipse.adt" occupies 36,164,216 (47.59%) bytes. The memory is 
accumulated in one instance of "com.android.ide.common.resources.FrameworkResources" 
loaded by "com.android.ide.eclipse.base".

Question 1: Is this error caused by my Android app project or by the Android SDK plugin? Question 2: Is there an easy fix to this problem?

Thanks in advance,

Ronald

Try allocating more heap space to eclipse. Go to eclipse.ini file in the eclipse directory and change heap space parameter.

-XX:MaxPermSize=256m
-Xms128m
-Xmx512m

Make sure to restart eclipse once you have make this change.

See if it works.

  • I am not a heap space or a memory leak expert, but extending the available memory does not sound like a solution to me. – hasdrubal Jun 02 '13 at 11:43
