Configuring the Eclipse 3.5.2 SDK JVM on OSX...

Many websites suggest editing the eclipse.ini file with a multiline option like:

...

-vmargs

-Xms1g

-Xmx2g

...

This did not work for me. As a work around, I edited the 'Run Configurations' for the program to include these settings. I selected the 'Arguments' tab and added the following in the 'VM Arguments:' field:

-Xms1g -Xmx2g

A temporary fix!
