Setting up first project

General
1

Hello everybody,
I have my first contact with vaadin and it looked really great (website, book, etc.).
I wanted to create my first own vaadin project within eclipse. Everytime building a new project, I get a “PermGen space” error.
Hopefully someone can help me.
Thanks&Greetings
Clay

P.S.:
Configuration:
Eclipse Helios 32bit
Snippet of the Eclipse.ini:

“openFile
–launcher.XXMaxPermSize256M
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
–launcher.XXMaxPermSize256m
–launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
-Xms512m
-Xmx1024m”

interior server within eclipse: apache-tomcat-6.0.32
Vaadin Plugin for Eclipse
Configuration for Apache-server&deployment configuration Servlet (default)
As Vaadin-versions were 6.5.7 and 6.1.1 used.

The PermGen Space problem is caused by the Eclipse+Tomcat combination when you redeploy the application many times.

I start my Eclipse with:

eclipse -Xms 256 -XmX 512 -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+CMSPermGenSweepingEnabled -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled -XX:MaxPermSize=512m

I give the parameters from command-line, but perhaps the ini file works as well.

As mentioned in Pro Account article
