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.sh script file. Change this line; adding the -Xmx option to increase the Java VM heap size from the default:

eclipse -vm jdk-path/jre/bin/java

For example:

eclipse -vm jdk-path/jre/bin/java -vmargs -Xmx512m

This example sets the Java VM heap size to 512MB, 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.
