![Increasing Heap Space for Eclipse [Closed]](https://docuprint.cloud68.co/uploads/increasing-heap-space-for-eclipse-closed_1200.jpg)
I am using Eclipse on 16.04 and for some programs it gives this message:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
How do I increase the allocated heap space?

If you need to increase the heap space for the Eclipse itself look for the eclipse.ini file in your Eclipse installation directory and change the value -Xmx1024m. For example, you can increase the heap space on 2GB with -Xmx2048m.
