OutOfMemory PermGen in STS 2.2.0 release

amy

I have been trying to resolve the OutOfMemory PermGen issue that I have run into in STS 2.2.0 releaseMy application has been built on JDK1.6 , OPEN JPA, Spring 3.0 with Oracle backend.

The problem I face is that my application runs out of the PermGen every time I run my Junits. Specifically, it hangs in the middle of running junits throwing up  java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

The Junit test relies on Spring heavily. All our Junits extend AbstractJpaTests.

the JVM options I am using are in the STS .ini file :
=====================
--vm
D:/proj/jdk1.6.0_12/bin/javaw.exe
-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.201.R35x_v2009071  5.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_1.0.2  00.v20090519
-product
com..sts.ide
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256M
-showsplash
com..sts
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
-Xms40m
-Xmx1024m

=====================================

I have tried a few suggestions that I found on various forums -

Current STS .ini file in the installatin directory     Min and Max JVM heap size is set to 40 and 1024m
Updated them to 265 and 2048m     Closed and restarted the STS eclipse, wont even startKindly provide any pointers.

Hi,

it seems that your STS.ini is missing the following setting:Code:
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m
Please add this to the end of the STS.ini.

Alternatively you could download STS 2.3.2 which has this setting out of the box.

HI Christian
I see this in the .ini file

--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256M
Is it different from what you have suggested? Where exactly should I add it in my .ini file.

yes, this is different. Please add the setting to the end of the ini file.
