The error you are getting is - even though it is an OutOfMemoryError - not thrown because you don't have enough memory, and therefore increasing your memory won't solve the problem you have. For details, see Error java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded

That -Xmx1024m means "Never use more than one gigabyte for the heap." If you'd like to double the heap size that Eclipse can use, change it to -Xmx2048m.
