Log file for the bug

The log file has been attached for the out of memory error that is being thrown
in Eclipse 3.0 M8
Comment 2 John Arthorne CLA 2004-04-15 13:11:56 EDT
You can increase the amount of available memory in Eclipse from the command line:

eclipse -vmargs -Xmx256M

Moving to JDT core as the OutOfMemoryError is occurring in the indexer.
Comment 3 Olivier Thomann CLA 2004-04-15 14:35:54 EDT
If you don't use -Xmx option, you have only 64M of RAM. This is clearly not
enough to run Eclipse.
Comment 4 Philipe Mulet CLA 2004-04-15 18:22:05 EDT
Kent: can we make the crash recovery scenario less memory intensive ?
Comment 5 Kent Johnson CLA 2004-04-19 16:30:16 EDT
Its not the crash recovery that is running out of memory... its the initial 
attempt to index rt.jar.
