The Eclipse 3.3 - 3.6 launchers for Windows had a problem with the Oracle/Sun Java VM version '1.6.0_21-b06'.
UPDATE: Oracle/Sun have released a respin of their JDK/JRE to fix this, so the recommended resolution of this problem is to download and re-install version 1.6.0_21-b07' or higher from (alternative link is ). Make sure you have b07 or higher by running java -version.
Before the fix was released, there were three choices to work around this:
- switch back to '1.6.0_20' (as of July 19, 2010 it can still be downloaded )
- Change the commandline for launching or add the following line after "-vmargs" to your file: -XX:MaxPermSize=256m ()
- For 32-bit Helios, download the fixed and place it into (eclipse_home)/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_1.1.0.v20100503
The Java bug was closed for voting and comments at on the Java BugParade because the change has been reverted; the related Eclipse bug report is open for voting and comments at . 已经说得很明白了,由于1.6.0_21-b06中部分包的名字被Oracle公司修改了,会造成原先的插件内存泄露,故官方也给出了三种解决方案。 (1)把JDK的版本降级到 jdk 1.6.0_20。下载地址: (2)修改文件里的设置,在-vmargs后添加或修改下面这句-XX:MaxPermSize=256m。 (3)对于32位版本的Eclipse3.6,可以下载这个补丁。,并且放置到(eclipse_home)/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_1.1.0.v20100503。 (4)升级jdk1.6.0_21-b06到1.6.0_21-b07或更高。
