How to increase memory and heap size in Eclipse

The default configuration in Eclipse is maximum memory 512mb, and heap size 256mb.

But that is normally not enough especially running server plugin in Eclipse, eg, Tomcat, JBoss

To run the server plugin smoothly, we need to increase the memory and heap size as below.

1. Open eclipse.ini in <Eclipse_installation_dir>

2. edit the memory and heap size to expected settings

Done!!
