Intellij 10.5 crashes right after start

Hello jens,

The VM options for the Mac version of IntelliJ IDEA are specified in the
Info.plist file. As the crash happens during GC, you can try specifying a
different GC algorithm in the VM options in Info.plist.

After sucessfully setting up my project Intellij suddenly dies. When
starting it up again it seems that the initialization process always
causes a crash in the JNI lib. I did not encounter these problems with
any other version I used before (mainly 9 in the past year).

I tried to modify the GC settings by adding a file "idea.vmoptions"
but problem still exists and I wonder if these file is read at all.

Hi Dmitry!


I changed the plist.file
32: -Xms128m -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=250m -XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=64m -XX:+UseSerialGC
64: -Xms128m -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=350m -XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=64m -XX:+UseCompressedOops -XX:+UseSerialGC

still same problem. chrashes after several minutes

Any suggestion which garbage collector to use?
Any suggestion concerning JAVA version to use?

ok, updated my iMac to use latest java version

java version "1.6.0_24"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_24-b07-334-10M3326)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 19.1-b02-334, mixed mode)

Thanks Jens. I can confirm this solved my problem too. I was on 1.6.0_18
