Is anyone else seeing Out of Memory errors?

Hello Kurt,

Are you running out of memory, or of PermGen space?

I'm regularly seeing Out of Memory errors when I fire up my IDEA with
my language plugin installed and then go to the settings dialog (this
is on a Macbook Pro running OS X 10.5.6 with 4GB of physical RAM).

Naturally, I assumed that I was doing something stupid, but -
starngely - I was able to stop the Out of Memory errors from happening
by disabling the IDETalk plugin. (?!?) I haven't yet tried to see if
disabling any other plugins has the same effect.

I don't think my JVM memory settings are an issue, as I've bumped my
min/max seetings to 512MB/1024MB.

Does this sound at all familiar to anyone?

Hi Dmitry,

I'm sorry; I should have been more precise - I'm running out of PermGen space. The error shows up in different ways, but here's a fairly representative stack trace:

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

    at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(ClassLoader.java:675)

Hello Kurt,

PermGen space is controlled by a different option (-XX:MaxPermSize). We've
increased the default MaxPermSize from 120M to 150M in the latest 8.1.1 EAP
build, and this should be enough for the current version. Indeed, disabling
plugins will reduce the number of classes which will be loaded, which can
avoid running out of permgen space.
