After implementing the solution provided in above link still I'm getting this error and Eclipse still crashes.
I am using Eclipse Galileo, JDK 1.7, Apache tomcat 6.0.
Changes made in eclipse.ini file
-Xms40m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m
Previous values were
-Xms40m -Xmx128m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m
I have made above changes. But still i have same problem.
Can any one help me with this.
