Eclipse runs out of memory when handling large return values

In Eclipse, when testing Web service calls to components that return very large values (greater than 1 million bytes), the Java VM that runs Eclipse may run out of memory. To solve this problem, modify the starteclipse.bat batch file. Change the line:

eclipse.exe -vm jdk-path\jre\bin\java

Add the -Xmx option to increase the Java VM heap size from the default. For example:

eclipse.exe -vm jdk-path\jre\bin\java -vmargs -Xmx512m

This example sets the Java VM heap size to 512 Megabytes, specified by 512m. You can adjust the size up or down as needed to prevent out-of-memory errors. For information on the syntax of the -Xmx option, see the Java command line documentation.
