I am using a fresh install of Eclipse Luna and ADT (just deleted and redownloaded it) and whenever I try to run ANY android project I have, eclipse starts freezing and then finally freezes at "Launching (99%)". After about 2 minutes of this, it pops up the error "GC Overhead Limit Exceeded", and I have to force quit eclipse.

This evens happens when I create a new Android project and try to run it. This is on a macbook pro running OS 10.9.4

Can anyone help me? I am incredibly frustrated by this, I feel like every time I try to program something in Android I waste more than half my time chasing and dealing with bugs in Eclipse.

    Have you tried to adjust/allocate the memory to Eclipse instance? http://docs.oseems.com/general/application/eclipse/fix-gc-overhead-limit-exceeded – display name Jul 23 '14 at 15:06

Adjusting/allocating more memory in eclipse worked.
