I get the error message:

There is insufficient memory for the Java Runtime Environment to continue.
 Native memory allocation (malloc) failed to allocate 4088 bytes for AllocateHeap
 An error report file with more information is saved as:
 E:\Eclipse_Workspace\BTest\hs_err_pid1888.log

Has anyone ever faced this problem? How to troubleshoot the “there is insufficient memory for the java runtime environment to continue..” The problem appears when I try to operate the following program:

-startup
 plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v20120522-1813.jar
 --launcher.library
 plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1.200.v20120913-144807
 -product
 org.eclipse.epp.package.java.product
 --launcher.defaultAction
 openFile
 --launcher.XXMaxPermSize
 256M
 -showsplash
 org.eclipse.platform
 --launcher.XXMaxPermSize
 256m
 --launcher.defaultAction
 openFile
 -vmargs
 -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
 -Dhelp.lucene.tokenizer=standard

    The cause: I think this error happens because there isn’t enough memory on your computer to run any more programs. This isn’t a Java issue, and no Java solution will solve that. The solution: To solve this problem, you need to understand “Out of memory” faults can be divided into two categories first.

    1. The first is the OutOfMemoryException, which occurs when Java code is executed but the Java heap is insufficiently large. This signifies that Java code requests memory from the Java runtime. Those can be fixed with -Xmx...
    2. The other error occurs when the Java runtime runs out of memory. This has nothing to do with the Java heap. When Java requests extra memory from the operating system, the operating system responds with “Sorry, I don’t have any.” Close apps or reboot to fix the latter (to clean up memory fragmentation).

  2. This message means you have too many programs running on your computer that there is not enough memory to run another. This is not a Java problem. There is no Java solution.

    To see how much of your RAM is free, use the Task Manager in Windows. I suspect that there is a program out there that takes all of the memory. It’s easy to find it and eliminate it.

    EDIT It is important to know that there are two types “out of memory” errors.

    The OutOfMemoryException is the first. This happens when Java code runs and the Java pile is too small. Java code requests memory from the Java Java. These can be fixed with -Xmx...

    Another error occurs when Java runtime runs low on memory. This error is not related to the Java heap at any. This happens when Java asks for more memory from the OS and the OS replies: “Sorry. I don’t possess any.”

    For the best results, close all applications and reboot to fix memory fragmentation.
