Unable to execute dex: GC overhead limit exceeded in Eclipse
When I downloaded the Git project OsmAnd and went to compile it, Eclipse returned these errors:
[Dex Loader] Unable to execute dex: GC overhead limit exceeded
[OsmAnd] Conversion to Dalvik format failed:
Unable to execute dex: GC overhead limit exceeded
Google and Stackoverflow said that I must change -Xms40m -Xmx384m in eclipse.ini . Conversion to Dalvik format failed: Unable to execute dex: Java heap space.
I cleaned project and restarted Eclipse, but it did not help.
I found this link: Tips for Android developer: “Conversion to Dalvik format failed: Unable to execute dex: null” But I do not know which .jar from my project to change the input in. If anyone can help, I can send the project to them.
It can be fixed by changing the VM values in Eclipse.ini. Set the values to 512 and 1024 as below:
openFile
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
512M
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
-Xms512m
-Xmx1024m
The changed area in image
For me following steps worked
1) Open eclipse.ini file
2)changed
-Xms40m
-Xmx512m
to
-Xms512m
-Xmx1024m
3)Restart eclipse
See here
eclipse.ini看起来像这样。
