Eclipse crashing, getting heap exceptions - Out of Memory when trying to deploy an Android applicaiton

I have one Android project that crashes when it is deployed. Other projects in the same workspace work fine. I increased the RAM usage on the AVD that I'm using to 1 GB. I don't think there is a memory leak because it seems to work on other peoples computer.

I'd like to use the Memory Profiler, but the project crashes before launching, and I can't reach the Logcat files.

Right now I'm using eclipse, is there a way for me to launch it using ANT or the command line, where I can execute it step by step and find where the crash is happening?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

David

    Try to increase heap size of the eclipse in vm arguments from eclipse.ini file for example by default it will like 

      -vmargs
  -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
  -Xms40m
  -Xmx512m

    You can change something like 

      -vmargs 
  -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
  -Xms512m
  -Xmx1024m
  -XX:PermSize=256M
  -XX:MaxPermSize=512M
