Re: [m2e-users] Eclipse Running Out of PermGen Space

[Igor Fedorenko <igor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Eclipse JVM needs to load the same classes as command line build plus
all the eclipse code. It is expected to use much much more permgen
memory. You can increase permgen memory in eclipse.ini.

Having said that, there was a slow memory leak in m2e, which could cause
permgen oome on very long running eclipse instances. m2e basically never
released maven plugin classloaders, so if you change plugin versions in
your projects or use snapshot plugins, eclipse eventually ran out of
memory. This particular problem is fixed in m2e 1.6, so you may want to
try recent snapshot to see if it works better for you.
