Marting, welcome to Java Ranch!

I don't see anything offhand. Please post your eclipse.ini.

eclipse.ini:

-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.1.1.R36x_v20101122_1400.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1.2.R36x_v20101222
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize512m
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-vmargs
-Xms40m
-Xmx512m

btw, if i add the parameters -vm C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe in Windows cmd, it works.. but if i try to add this parameters in the shortcut or in eclipse.ini, it doesnt..

[Martin Zottinsky]

no ideas?

how you are adding the entry in eclipse.ini? add before -vmargs and add -vm then immediate next line C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe.

Line 7 is incorrect - the size needs to be on another line:

--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
512m
