As a consequence, I'm in the process of moving all options from the non-standard Info.plist file to the standard eclipse.ini. While doing this I ran into the following problems: - the eclipse.ini file wasn't recognized because it was in the wrong location. Make sure that eclipse.ini is in Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS - if there is a single VM argument ("-vmargs") specified in Info.plist, *all* VM arguments in eclipse.ini are ignored. So make sure that all -vmargs are moved to eclipse.ini In recent builds these problems have been addressed. eclipse.ini problems on Mac:

In fact, I've found some settings (on Windows) that let me run reasonable with only a 96m heap. Keep in mind that I run with the entire platform checked out from CVS in addition to other skunkworks projects. These are my settings: -Xverify:none -Xms40m -Xmx96m -XX:PermSize=20m -XX:+UseParallelGC -XX:CompileThreshold=100 I'm dying to try them (or the equiv.) out on my Powerbook when it returns.
