I am getting the following exception repeatedly each time I try to run the program.
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap
Could not create the Java virtual machine.
I tried to increase my virtual memory (page size) and RAM size, but to no avail.
How can I eliminate this error?
Run the JVM with -XX:MaxHeapSize=512m (or any big number as you need) (or -Xmx512m for short)
This can also be caused by setting something too large on a 32-bit HotSpot vm, for example:
-Xms1536m -Xmx1536m
where this might/would work:
-Xms1336m -Xmx1336m
here is how to fix it:
Go to Start->Control Panel->System->Advanced(tab)->Environment Variables->System
Variables->New: Variable name: _JAVA_OPTIONS
Variable value: -Xmx512M
Variable name: Path
Variable value: %PATH%;C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin;F:\JDK\bin;
Change this to your appropriate path.
I ran into this when using javac, and it doesn't seem to pick up on the command line options,
-bash-3.2$ javac -Xmx256M HelloWorldApp.java
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.
so the solution here it so set _JAVA_OPTIONS
-bash-3.2$ export _JAVA_OPTIONS="-Xmx256M"
-bash-3.2$ javac HelloWorldApp.java
Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Xmx256M
And this compiles fine.
This happens to me on machines with a lot of RAM, but with lower memory ulimits. Java decides to allocate a big heap because it detects the ram in the machine, but it's not allowed to allocate it because of ulimits.
32-bit Java requires contiguous free space in memory to run. If you specify a large heap size, there may not be so much contiguous free space in memory even if you have much more free space available than necessary.
Installing a 64-bit version of Java helps in these cases, the contiguous memory requirements only applies to 32-bit Java.
Combined with -Xmx512M use -d64 to make sure you're running 64-bit VM. On a 64-bit machine I thought for sure I was running 64-bit virtual machine, but no. After installing 64-bit Java the -d64 option works and -Xmx allows much larger memory sizes.
java -d64 -Xmx512M mypackage.Test
Open gradle.properties file in android folder.
Replace this line:
org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx1536M
with:
org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx512m
Explanation:
Max limit from Gradle document:
If the requested build environment does not specify a maximum heap size, the Daemon will use up to 512MB of heap.
I got the same error and resolved this by configuring it in the run.conf.bat
Run the JVM with the configuring run.conf.bat in Jboss5x
If free memory is not available AS you are passing in the statement then please make changes in run.conf.bat
set "JAVA_OPTS=-Xms512m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m"
I had similar issues. I had installed 32 bit version of Java on a 64 bit machine.
By uninstalling that version and installing 64 bit version of Java. I was able to resolve the issue.
I know there are a lot of answers here already, but none of them helped me. In the end I opened the file /etc/elasticsearch/jvm.options and changed:
-Xms2G
-Xmx2G
to
-Xms256M
-Xmx256M
That solved it for me. Hopefully this helps someone else here.
Suppose your class is called Test in package mypackage. Run your code like this:
java -Xmx1024m mypackage.Test
This will reserve 1024 MB of heap space for your code. If you want 512 MB, you can use:
java -Xmx512m mypackage.Test
Use little m in 1024m, 512m, etc
Sometimes, this error indicates that physical memory and swap on the server actually are fully utilized!
I was seeing this problem recently on a server running RedHat Enterprise Linux 5.7 with 48 GB of RAM. I found that even just running
java -version
caused the same error, which established that the problem was not specific to my application.
Running
cat /proc/meminfo
reported that MemFree and SwapFree were both well under 1% of the MemTotal and SwapTotal values, respectively:
MemTotal: 49300620 kB
MemFree: 146376 kB
...
SwapTotal: 4192956 kB
SwapFree: 1364 kB
Stopping a few other running applications on the machine brought the free memory figures up somewhat:
MemTotal: 49300620 kB
MemFree: 2908664 kB
...
SwapTotal: 4192956 kB
SwapFree: 1016052 kB
At this point, a new instance of Java would start up okay, and I was able to run my application.
(Obviously, for me, this was just a temporary solution; I still have an outstanding task to do a more thorough examination of the processes running on that machine to see if there's something that can be done to reduce the nominal memory utilization levels, without having to resort to stopping applications.)
Error :
For the error, "error occurred during initialization of vm could not reserve enough space for object heap jboss"
Root Cause :
Improper/insufficient memory allocation to our JVM as mentioned below.
e.g. JAVA_OPTS="-Xms1303m -Xmx1303m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m" in jboss-eap-6.2\bin\standalone.conf or "JAVA_OPTS=-Xms1G -Xmx1G -XX:MaxPermSize=256M" in jboss-eap-6.2\bin\standalone.conf.bat which is nothing but JVM memory allocation pool parameters.
Resolution :
Increase the heap size. To increase the heap size,
goto -> jboss-eap-6.2\bin\standalone.conf.bat or jboss-eap-6.2\bin\standalone.conf
change ->JAVA_OPTS="-Xms256m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m" where -Xms is Minimum heap size and -Xmx is Maximum heap size.
Usually its not recommanded to have same size for min and max.
If you are running your application from eclipse,
Double click on the server
select 'open launch configuration' you will be redirected to the window 'Edit launch configuration properties'.
In this windown goto the tab '(x)=Arguments'.
In VM Arguments, define your heap size as mentioned below
"-Dprogram.name=JBossTools: JBoss EAP 6.1+ Runtime Server" -server -Xms256m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Dorg.jboss.resolver.warning=true
I recently faced this issue. I have 3 java applications that start with 1024m or 1280m heap size.
Java is looking at the available space in swap, and if there is not enough memory available, the jvm exits.
To resolve the issue, I had to end several programs that had a large amount of virtual memory allocated.
I was running on x86-64 linux with a 64-bit jvm.
I had right amount of memory settings but for me it was using a 64bit intellij with 32 bit jvm. Once I switched to 64 bit VM, the error was gone.
If you're running 32bit JVM, change heap size to smaller would probabaly help. You can do this by passing args to java directly or through enviroment variables like following,
java -Xms128M -Xmx512M
JAVA_OPTS="-Xms128M -Xmx512M"
For 64bit JVM, bigger heap size like -Xms512M -Xmx1536M should work.
Run java -version or java -d32, java--d64 for Java7 to check which version you're running.
Assuming you have enough free memory and you setup you JVM arguments correctly, you might have a problem of memory fragmentation. Check Java maximum memory on Windows XP.
Anyway, here is how to fix it:
Go to Start->Control Panel->System->Advanced(tab)->Environment Variables->System Variables->New:
Variable name: _JAVA_OPTIONS
Variable value: -Xmx512M
OR
Change the ant call as shown as below.
<exec
**<arg value="-J-Xmx512m" />**
</exec>
It worked for me.
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for 1572864KB object heap
I changed value of memory in settings.grade file
1536 to 512 and it helped
Go to Start->Control Panel->System->Advanced(tab)->Environment Variables->System Variables->New:
Variable name: _JAVA_OPTIONS
Variable value: -Xmx512M
In case you are running a java program:
- run your program in a terminal using the correct command for linux it would be 'java -jar myprogram.jar' and add -Xms256m -Xmx512m, for instance: 'java -jar myprogram.jar Xms256m -Xmx512m'
In case you are running a .sh script (linux, mac?) or a .bat script (windows) open the script and look for the java options if they are present and increase the memory.
If all of the above doesn't work, check your processes (ctrl+alt+delete on windows) (ps aux on linux/mac) and kill the processes which use allot of memory and are not necessary for your operating system! => Try to re-run your program.
In CASSANDRA_HOME/bin/cassandra.bat you would find following configuration
REM JVM Opts we'll use in legacy run or installation
set JAVA_OPTS=-ea^
-javaagent:"%CASSANDRA_HOME%\lib\jamm-0.3.0.jar"^
-Xms**2G**^
-Xmx**2G**^
You can reduce 2G to some smaller number for e.g. 1G or even lesser and it should work.
Same if you are running on unix box, change in .sh file appropriately.
I got the same error and it got resolved when I deleted temp files using %temp% and restarting eclipse.
Sometimes it relates as
$ sysctl vm.overcommit_memory
vm.overcommit_memory = 2
If you set it to:
$ sysctl vm.overcommit_memory=0
It should work.
Replace -Xmx2G with -Xms512M or any greater memory size in cassandra.bat file in cassandra bin directory.
In my case I couldn't increase org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx... in gradle.properties beyond 1GB. It didn't work because I had two Java installation on my machine, one 32 bit (Gradle was using this one) and the other 64 bit. I resolved the problem by adding JAVA_HOME environment variable pointing to 64 bit Java.
No need to do anything just chnage in POM file like below
<configuration>
<maxmemory>1024M</maxmemory>
</configuration>
I am running on 7 GM Ram machine , I have a heap dump file of size 1.8 GB . I am using Java 8 of 64 bit and running on 64 bit machine.
When i try to open the phd file from heap dump analyzer tool , it throws out of memory error. I am setting java vm args for heap analyzer tool as below
java -Xmx4g -XX:-UseGCOverheadLimit
but still i am unable to open file. Please let me know how can i overcome this.
This happens due to that the default heap size is smaller than needed by the dump size to be loaded, to resolve this, you need to set the VM args Xms, and XmX with the right values, below is what worked for me:
"<JAVA_PATH>\Java.exe" -Xms256m -Xmx6144m -jar <HEAP_ANALYSER_NAME>.jar
I hope that helps, I know it is a bit late response :)
I faced the same issue multiple times. I noticed that the analyzer runs better on Linux. On windows it needs a very large amount of memory most of the times - and surprisingly I did not see any apparent direct co-relation between the heapdump size and the required xmx size by the analyzer.
You can either try on Linux if that is an option, or increase the xmx size further.
I Installed JDK 1.8 along with JRE 1.8 and made the changes Java Runtime Environment Settings : java control panel --> Java --> View --> User (Run Time Parameters to -Xms256m -Xmx6144m) and enable both JRE and JDK 1.8 versions.
This works out finally :) ; give it a try, JDK1.8 64bit in Windows.
While running my Java code in Eclipse IDE, I got the error:
Exception in thread "D3D Screen Updater" Exception in thread
"AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
I searched for this error and tried solutions described here and here, but they did not work.
I changed these parameters in eclipse.ini:
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
512M
-Xms40m
-Xmx512m
to:
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
1024M
-Xms512m
-Xmx2048m
EDIT:
I changed this parameters at Run Configurations:
But I still get the same error. Am I missing something?
The memory settings in eclipse.ini is allocated to Eclipse IDE only,
not the program you want to run. A very common mistake is updated the
heap size in eclipse.ini, and expects it to solve above out of memory
problem.
http://www.mkyong.com/eclipse/eclipse-java-lang-outofmemoryerror-java-heap-space/
Where is the "vmargs" option? If you set the min/max heap, you probably need to do it on the main process, not the launcher.
See the Eclipse FAQ item on setting VM options.
That launcher PermSize opt is a bit ridiculous. Unless you know it is launcher PermSize causing the OOM, keep it at the default of 256m.
[EDIT]
As pointed out else-thread, if this is happening when you run your Java program from Eclipse, you tweak those settings within the "Run Configuration" for that program, not Eclipse.ini.
Also, remember that you can tweak the VM options all you want, but if the program wants to eat all the resources on the box before it OOMs, no amount of tweaking can mitigate this.
If we are using windows try this:
Try setting a Windows System Environment variable called _JAVA_OPTIONS with the heap size you want. Java should be able to find it and act accordingly
Below settings workes for me :
-Xms512m -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m
Assuming you have 4gb or more RAM, try something like this in eclipse.ini(notice the capital/small letter "m"):
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
1024M
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
1024m
-vmargs
-Xms512m
-Xmx2048m

I have updated the jdev.conf file to include the following, but still receive the error:
AddVMOption -XX:MaxPermSize=512M
AddVMOption -Xmx512M
AddVMOption -Xms512M
Furthermore, this project opens just fine without issue on a colleague's computer, where the jdev.conf file -XX:MaxPermSize=512M switch is set to 256M and the other 2 switches are not present.
I've spent the afternoon playing with different settings, trying to discover the difference, and I am left stumped. Is there something I'm missing? When I try to bump the setting to higher memory limits, JDeveloper fails to start the Java machine (I suspect that is related to memory allocated to Java itself), though it shouldn't be necessary, as the app works fine on my coworker's computer with half the memory allocated to JDeveloper.
I faced the same issue and it get resolved with the help of below link :
Fixing java.lang.OutOfMemory Java Heap Space error in JDeveloper
Beside changing the configration fieles (jdev.conf and ide.conf) to have the commands
JDEV.CONF
AddVMOption -XX:MaxPermSize=256M
IDE.CONF
AddVMOption -Xmx768M
AddVMOption -Xms256M
See also this link:
Jdeveloper throwing Out of Heap Space error with SVN
Beside, stop versioning option for Jdeverlper as follow:
In JDeveloper -> Choose Versioning menu -> Choose Configure -> Uncheck “Versioning support for Subversion”
You can use some standalone SVN clients such as TortoiseSVN for
versioning
Egh. Simple, REALLY obvious solution that we just somehow overlooked. He is running an older version of JDeveloper. Installed that version, everything works.
First of all, I have a box with 8gb of ram, so I doubt total memory is the issue.
This application is running fine on machines with 6gb or less.
I am trying to reserve 3GB of space using -Xmx3G under "VM Arguments" in Run Configurations in Eclipse.
Every time I try to reserve more than 1500mb, I get this error:
“Error occurred during initialization of VM; Could not reserve enough space for object heap” using -Xmx3G
What is going on here?
Could it be that you're using a 32-bit jvm on that machine?
Here is how to fix it:
Go to Start->Control Panel->System->Advanced(tab)->Environment Variables->System
Variables->New:
Variable name: _JAVA_OPTIONS
Variable value: -Xmx512M
Variable name: Path
Variable value: ;C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin;F:\JDK\bin;
Change this to your appropriate path.
This is actually not an Eclipse-specific issue; it's a general
Java-on-Windows issue. It's because of how the JVM allocates memory on
Windows; it insists on allocating a contiguous chunk of memory, which
often Windows can't provide, even if there are enough separate chunks to
satisfy the allocation request.
There are utilities that will try to help Windows "defrag" its memory,
which would, in theory, help this situation; but I've not really tried
them in earnest so can't speak to their effectiveness.
One thing that I've heard sometimes that might help is to reboot Windows
and, before starting any other apps, launch the Java app that needs the
big chunk of memory. If you're lucky, Windows won't have fragmented its
memory space yet and Java will get the contiguous block that is asks for.
Somewhere out on the interwebs there are more technical explanations and
analyses of this issue, but I don't have any references handy.
I did find this, though, which looks helpful: https://stackoverflow.com/a/497757/639520
First the JRE of 32bits can't use more ~1.5Gb of ram. So if you want more, use a 64bits JRE.
Second, When a new JVM starts, this sum the -Xmx property of the all JVM that are running, and check if there is enough memory left on the system to run at their own -Xmx, if is not enough then the error occurs.
I was using Liferay with Tomcat server from eclipse IDE.
I was stuck with this same error on click on server start up.
Double click on server from eclipse.
it open up Server Overview page. Updated memory arguments from -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m to -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m.
Then it was working for me.
Make sure that Eclipse is actually running the same JVM you think it's running. If you use java in your web browser ever, you likely have a 32-bit version floating around too that might be taking precedence if it installed or updated lately.
To be absolutely sure, I recommend adding these two lines to your eclipse.ini file at the top:
-vm
C:/Java/jdk1.6.0_27/bin
...where on my machine C:/Java/jdk1.6.0_27/bin where the JVM I know is 64-bit is located. Be sure to have the bin folder there.
(As a bonus, on Windows 7, this also allows you to actually "pin the tab" which is why I had to do this for my own usage)
This is the issue of Heap size. Edit your .bat (Batch file). It might be showing Heap size 1024. Change it to 512 Then it should work.
Just put # symbol in front of org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx1536m in gradle.properties
# org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx1536m
I also had the same problem while using Eclipse which was 32 bit and the JVM used by it was 64 bit.
When I routed the Eclipse to 32 bit JVM then it worked
I know that i am a bit late, but here my answer comes:
I just installed the Java online Version from Oracle(not the offline 64-Bit one).
After having added the JAVA_HOME ENV variable, it just worked!
Hope I could help :)
Probably you are trying wrong options anyways.
I got a similar error with supporting error log:
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM warning: ignoring option PermSize=32M; support was removed in 8.0
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM warning: ignoring option MaxPermSize=128M; support was removed in 8.0
Im my case, the software did not support java 8 yet(script was using old JVM arguments) but I had had java 8 by default.
One of the reason for this issue is no memory available for Tomcat to start. Try to delete the unwanted running software from windows and restart the eclipse and tomcat.
Solution is simple. No need to go deep into this issue.
If you are running on 64bit machine then follow below steps:
Unistall 32 bit java first (check in C:\Program Files (x86) for its existence)
Install the newer version JDK kit 64 bit (includes JRE)
Set the environment path (To avoid conflict error if you have two different 64bit JRE)
Check in command prompt by typing javac command.
Restart / Done
You can have two different Java installed but don't forgot to set path.
Please set JAVA_OPTS=-Xms256m -Xmx512m in environment variables, it should solve the issue, it worked for me.
Find out if you are using a 32bit version or 64bit version of Java. To know that use the command
java -version
The 3rd line of the output should give you if it 32bit or 64bit.
If it is 32bit uninstall and install a 64bit version.
