[sarvan kumar]

Hi,
I am facing Out of memory error:perm gen space when i am clean and build all the project this error occur and automatically the eclipse closes. I am using Eclipse 3.5 and jboss server 4.2.0.

I have deleted the server and deleted the eclipse 3.5 folder and put the new one of eclipse 3.5 and jboss 4.2 server but i am facing the same error

I have also increase the eclipse.ini file
the value of perm gen space error

--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256M

to 512 but no change

Can anyone having the solution

Thanks,
K.Saravanan

Hi Saravanan,

Can you post the exception stack trace as well, other than that does the OME occur when you start the server or when you try to access an application deployed on the server ?

Hi Sarvan,
This forum is only for JBoss related queries. Your problem is related to eclipse so please ask this to IDE forum.

What's your JDK version? Something similar from Eclipse forums here

[Peter Johnson]

The stack trace you posted has nothing to do with an OOME, instead it is complaining about a missing file: E:\EVENTPORTALWORKSPACE1.0\.metadata\.mylyn\tasks.xml.zip

If you didn't accidently delete that file, and cannot restore it, you might need to reinstall Eclipse (unless there is someone on the IDE forum that has some other ideas).
