Eclipse crashes with a GC overhead limit exceeded error

It's the first time I am using Proguard, I've noticed that if you add many custom rules to proguard-project.txt it takes obviously much more time for building. That's cause Eclipse to crash reporting a GC overhead limit exceeded and then I have to force the shut down of java because the editor continues to pop out error and alert dialogs. Is there any way to avoid these continuous crashes on Eclipse and so fix the problem reported here too?

Solution

  • Fixed, I read all the others forum posts about the problem but no one said how to fix it on Eclipse. I found the fix here

    EDIT: in case the link becomes dead, here's what you can do. Edit "eclipse.ini", and set something like that:

    -XX:MaxPermSize=1024m
-Xms512m
-Xmx1024m
