I'm running Kubuntu 18.04.1 and have Eclipse installed as a snap package. I want to change the values of Xms and Xmx, but I can't edit /snap/eclipse/29/eclipse.ini because it is read-only. Is there a workaround?

    Do you actually want to change the values in the eclipse.ini which change the settings for Eclipse itself - or do you want to change the settings for Java programs you are running (which are elsewhere)? – greg-449 Nov 16 '18 at 16:01
  • Might be able to write a shell script that launches it and then pass the the values to the executable - not sure if they'd get over written though my whats in the eclipse.ini – JGlass Nov 16 '18 at 16:28
  • @greg-449 Yes, I want to change the settings for Eclipse itself. –  Nov 16 '18 at 16:55
  • This should be possible via an override: https://github.com/snapcrafters/eclipse/pull/41 – sanmai Oct 14 '22 at 07:45

You can add the arguments if you run eclipse via the command-line:

snap run eclipse -vmargs -Xmx15g
