StackOverflowError in Eclipse while running Java code

Lately i ran into some memory issues which i have been trying to solve the paste few days, but unfortunately without any luck!

I am running Mac OS X 10.6.8 / 8GB RAM (Should not be any allocation problems!)

Eclipse version is Helios.

java -version
java version "1.6.0_29"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_29-b11-402-10M3527)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.4-b02-402, mixed mode)

My Java exception:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.StackOverflowError

And my eclipse.ini:

-startup
../../../plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.1.0.v20100507.jar
--launcher.library
../../../plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.cocoa.macosx.x86_64_1.1.0.v20100503
-product
org.eclipse.epp.package.java.product
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
1G
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
-XstartOnFirstThread
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.carbon.smallFonts
-Xms256m
-Xmx512m
-XX:PermSize=1024m
-XX:MaxPermSize=1024M
-Xdock:icon=../Resources/Eclipse.icns
-XstartOnFirstThread
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.carbon.smallFonts

I have also tried to add "-Xmx1536m" to my VM arguments in Eclipse, but without any luck at all!

Thanks in advance.

In Eclipse Right click on project follow below steps:

  • Run
  • Run Configurations
  • click on JRE tab
  • In VM arguments section write below parameters -Xss2g

By default stack memory size is 512 KB. We can increase as per our need.

  • Click on apply and run project..

If in case any query, revert comment in comment sections.

StackOverflowError is a common error when you have an infinite recursive call such as :

void method(int a) {
    method(a);
}

this kind of calls will lead to the StackOverflowError.

So you should check in your code if you have this type of infinite recursive calls or maybe an endless loop.
