I have a rediculous problem in eclipse memory allocation.
I have a code , when I run it without changing the Vmargs it starts from 250mg and ends in 904mg,without any error and when I change the Vmargs to -Xmx2g it starts from 750mg and ends in 1.2G.
does the value of VMargs affect the memory usage of the program?

Looks good for me, maybe all your Eclipse need is 1.2G
If your Java is 32 bit only then maybe you can't get more RAM. Java need heap memory and non heap memory. Java 32 bit has limit to 4g or less (this depend on system and hardware)

it differs when I change the vmargs. I don't know does it really need more than 1g or no? – Apr 29 '13 at 19:44

Java likes memory and have very complicated algorithm for allocating memory. If it works without 1g then dont need 1g. – MariuszS Apr 29 '13 at 19:59
