one doesn't actually set the MaxPermGen higher than 64M - I tried this

to 64M

What "Memory Monitor" are you talking about that shows Perm Gen size? I've never seen such tool.
I can assure you that if Eclipse is indeed running in a Sun JVM it will set the Perm Gen size with that option. Can you confirm the JVM that Eclipse is running in (Help > About Eclipse > Configuration Details)

You can always try forcing the max perm gen setting to your JVM by adding "-XX:MaxPermSize=128m" (line by itself, without quotes) after the -vmargs line.


I'm still getting OOME (Out of Memory Errors) that point to PermGen
(MyEclipse pop up). I went through and read the complete Bug report on
this and while it was tremendous, it appears that this problem resides
in the SUN JVM and there doesn't seem to be much movement on fixing it.

Sounds like MyEclipse should be told about your troubles, too. It is their tool that is telling you there is a Perm Gen problem, and likely their plugins that are causing it to go over the default 64M limit.

Hope this helps,
