Cannot make -Xmx large enough in eclipse to analyse file

140 Views

Hi

I have a series of 2.5+Gb heap files from my portal, I need to analyse the files but I find that the tool falls over with an out of memory error (Ironic or what!!)

I have increased the -Xmx parameter in the eclipse.ini to 840Mb but as soon as I increase it further eclipse won't start (JVM -1 error)

I have tried running this on a machine that has 95Gb memory, I hoped that would be enough but I get the same problem

can anyone offer me some help? Is there another parameter I should be setting? should I be using a different version of the JRE (I'm using 1.5016, when I tried to use anything else eclipse doesn't start)

I have a go live with this system at the weekend so I am under a lot of pressure to resolve the problems we are having, so any help is very much appreciated.

thanks

Marina
