- Increasing VM memory may improve performance by editing the
eclipse.ini
file and adjusting its-Xms -Xmx -XX:MaxPermSize
options. (OSX users only): If you are getting OutOfMemory exceptions when building the search index you may need to add the following JRE options to your run configuration:
-Xmx1024m -Xms512m
Set the M2_REPO classpath variable so Eclipse knows where to find your local Maven repository.
Window/Preferences -> Java/Build Path/Classpath Variable -> Click "New" button, then Name="M2_REPO", Path="~/.m2/repository"
