How to Execute Dex: Gc Overhead Limit Exceeded in Eclipse

Unable to execute dex: GC overhead limit exceeded in Eclipse

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

Unable to execute dex: GC overhead limit exceeded - libraries

go to your eclipse folder and find a file called eclipse.ini and change this

-Xms512m
-Xmx1024m

Eclipse crashes with a GC overhead limit exceeded error

Fixed, I read all the others forum posts about the problem but no one said how to fix it on Eclipse. I found the fix here

EDIT: in case the link becomes dead, here's what you can do. Edit "eclipse.ini", and set something like that:

-XX:MaxPermSize=1024m
-Xms512m
-Xmx1024m

Unable to execute dex: GC overhead limit exceeded - libraries

go to your eclipse folder and find a file called eclipse.ini and change this

-Xms512m
-Xmx1024m

The solution to this is to remove rt.jar (there are 18635 class files) file from your project. It's a heavy jar. In JRE or J2EE/J2ME, that jar file used by default. In Android I'll not, so we have to add manually.
