Could be nice if the eclipse startup script contained some code to detect the memory size,
and according to that
set the permsize to mem/10 and Xms and Xmx to mem/2 or something close to that.
Just my 2 cents...

Thanks for the suggestions, Ishmael.
I just ran into java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space when
synchronizing a project in Eclipse.
Does the IcedTea team have any suggestions here?
