My Problem: I have running a system with 32 gigs of RAM. I am working on a large
JSF project which seems to make my Eclipse slightly sluggish. There are plenty of answers on Stackoverflow and Quora where people simply share what their eclipse.ini settings are. Unfortunately, this doesn't tell me anything about what I should do in my particular case with the amount of RAM I have available. Also, this doesn't shed any light on what Xms, Xmx, XX:PermSize, XX:MAXPerSize actually does.
Given that I have 32 gigs of RAM, I don't mind giving the vast majority of it to Eclipse since that's all I use on my machine while I am working.
If someone a little informed on the nuances of this topic can chime in please?
Thank you.
