Well, a message saying "This heap is small, please give me more space" would be all too helpful. I haven't touched Eclipse in years, but Clion and Rider have this failure mode where they just use all the CPU all the time and it's up to user to figure out that it's GC and how to increase the heap size. I was hoping for an option that would mean "use all the memory you need but don't keep the maximum allocated just in case". The current -Xmx seems to be more like "postpone full GC until the maximum has been reached". I'm not sure if it's significant that Jetbrains IDEs and Eclipse are separate products. Google can't distinguish between different Jetbrains products in search results, maybe Eclipse can be lumped into same group by some logic.
