eclipse.ini
Revision as of 12:08, 28 February 2007 by Richardbeton.hotmail.com (Talk | contribs)
Eclipse startup is controlled by the options in $ECLIPSE_HOME/eclipse.ini. If $ECLIPSE_HOME is not defined, it defaults to your eclipse installation directory, which contains the default eclipse.ini.
eclipse.ini is a text file containing command-line options that are added to the command line used when Eclipse is started up. By default, it contains something like
-vmargs -Xms40M -Xmx256M
which sets the stack space to 40MB and the heap size to 256MB.
