It also depends on the tuning you could have done in your eclipse.ini
file.

In all cases, raising the -Xms and -Xmx settings to a reasonable amount
should cut off most the OutOfMemoryException.

You might also want to raise the -XX:PermSize and -XX:MaxPermSize
settings to a higher amount than default one.

You can also activate the -Dide.gc=true options if you are funky.

I currently use this settings, and it works really fine:
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
-XX:PermSize=256m
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m
-Xms512m
-Xmx512m
-Dide.gc=true

Hope it can help,
Pierre.
