Depending on your hardware, the default settings for the Eclipse Test Framework, as outlined in org.eclipse.test/library.xml, may be insufficient to run your tests without and OutOfMemory error or permgen crash.

Below are some settings you can define in your testing.properties file:

• To use a different library-file than the default from org.eclipse.test/library.xml

library-file=${relengCommonBuilderDir}/builder/tests/custom-library.xml

or

library-file=${relengBuilderDir}/my-own-library.xml

• To dump test properties into console log and separate file for debugging purposes

echotestproperties=true

• Set some -X flags

Xflags= -Xms512m -Xmx1024m -XX:PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m

• Increase the default osgi.bundlefile.limit (see bug 106396)

Dflags=-Dosgi.bundlefile.limit=100

• If Xflags or Dflags have been overridden, must override args too

args=${executionDir}/${shell} -vmExecutable ${vmExecutable} -consolelog ${consolelog} ${Xflags} ${Dflags}
