Eclipse won't start after .ini edit

Question

Fisrt I got an error "eclipse out of memory error and gc overhead limit exceeded" and,

Then I tried looking for the answer, and then found this.

After I edited the .ini just like Silvio's answer my eclipse won't start.

It just disappear after chosing workspace folder.

Edit : I already tried opening a new eclipse and still eclipse won't start.

Can you just remove both the occurrences of `--launcher.XXMaxPermSize 256M` and add `-MaxPermSize=256m` at an end and try. — Madhusudana Reddy Sunnapu, Mar 30 '16 at 05:52
Mistake in my earlier comment. It should be `-XX:MaxPermSize=256m` at the end after `Xmx512m` same line. Can you try it now. — Madhusudana Reddy Sunnapu, Mar 30 '16 at 10:33
but still remove both the occurrences..? **Edited** I Guess it has something to do with windows registry. Is it..? — Septian Dhani, Mar 30 '16 at 10:46
