eclipse java heap space

Java Heap Space refers to the memory allocated for storing objects and other data structures in a Java Virtual Machine (JVM). When the JVM runs out of memory in the heap space, it throws a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError. This error can occur in Eclipse when running large applications or when working with large datasets.

To resolve this issue, you can increase the heap space allocated to your JVM by adding the following line to your Eclipse.ini file:

-Xmx<maximum heap size>

For example, to increase the maximum heap size to 2GB, you can add the following line to your Eclipse.ini file:

-Xmx2048m

Note that the value should be specified in megabytes (m) or gigabytes (g).

You can also try optimizing your code or reducing the size of your data to avoid running out of memory in the heap space.
