I have had a problem lately with jvisualvm not allowing me to take heap dumps and showing very little information at all. I believe this is my problem.

I made the suggested changes to eclipse.ini. It currently looks like this:

my eclipse.ini file

The line in question here is then line 19.

Now, when I check the configuration in Eclipse, the new option doesn't show up.

eclipse conf window

I have restarted Eclipse twice, both via File -> Restart and closing and re-opening, with no effect. Also, I have changed the order of the options in the file, with no effect.

What might cause this and can this be fixed somehow?

EDIT: I also tried closing Notepad++ and then restarting. No effect. type in the command prompt still shows the changes, so they are there.

I managed to solve it by running Eclipse in clean mode, as described here.

  1. I ran Eclipse from the command prompt:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Eclipse>eclipse -clean

    This can be done in other ways also, as seen the answer linked above.

    At this point, the problem is solved. The rest of the steps are what happened.

  2. I had to choose my workspace again, as the cache had been cleared.
  3. Package Explorer failed to load.
  4. After one more restart, everything worked fine.
