eclipse.ini has been changed, but eclipse wont updated in Ubuntu 14.04
android, eclipse, java, linux, ubuntu
Solution
I spent hours, now i want to cry and laugh at the same time.
The shortcut that in the ubuntu's launcher does not use the `eclipse.ini` in the eclipse's directory, eventhough it linked to the same `eclipse`.
I need to run the eclipse from the directory manually or create a shortcut to the desktop, then the `eclipse.ini` will be readed
Problem
First, i have done a lot of research and this is the answer i think the best : https://stackoverflow.com/a/17498043/1203797 According to that answer, my `eclipse.ini` should be on the same directory of my eclipse because i downloded it from the internet (not via `terminal/software center`). I need to change the RAM used by my eclipse because i keep getting `GC overheat error` when trying to run a big application. This is my `eclipse.ini` : ``` -startup plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v20140415-2008.jar --launcher.library plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_64_1.1.200.v20140603-1326 -product org.eclipse.epp.package.jee.product --launcher.defaultAction openFile -showsplash org.eclipse.platform --launcher.XXMaxPermSize 2048m --launcher.defaultAction openFile --launcher.appendVmargs -vmargs -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.6 -XX:MaxPermSize=2048m -Xms512m -Xmx2048m ``` Note that i have updated the `Xmx/Xms` value, but : ``` -product org.eclipse.epp.package.jee.product -vm /usr/bin/java eclipse.home.location=file:/home/tama/DEVELOPMENT/adt-bundle/eclipse/ eclipse.launcher=/home/tama/DEVELOPMENT/adt-bundle/eclipse/eclipse eclipse.launcher.name=Eclipse eclipse.p2.data.area=@config.dir/../p2/ eclipse.p2.profile=epp.package.jee eclipse.product=org.eclipse.epp.package.jee.product eclipse.startTime=1417076772881 eclipse.stateSaveDelayInterval=30000 eclipse.vm=/usr/bin/java eclipse.vmargs=-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.6 -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Xms40m -Xmx512m ``` That is what displayed in `Eclipse Installation Detail` (I know this from the answer i posted above). Please kindly help me, Thanks for your time.
