Unable to execute dex because of java heap space in eclipse with a tiny android application

I have an android application that only has one jar import which is 4 mb in size (Symja https://code.google.com/p/symja/) Literally the only code in the project is creating a new textview and setting it as the content view. But I am getting the error(s):

Conversion to Dalvik format failed: Unable to execute dex: Java heap space
Unable to execute dex: Java heap space

I have another android project which is alot bigger, almost 20,000 lines of code and it runs in seconds. My eclipse.ini has the following settings:

-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
-XX:MaxPermSize=512m
-Xms512m
-Xmx1024m

I do not know why I cannot run this project. So any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

  • I read, that symja library needs Java version 1.6. But your Eclipse uses Java 1.5. Maybe, it's a problem.
