Rascal Metaprogramming Language

To configure Eclipse properly for running Rascal, you may have to edit the eclipse.ini file:

• find it first
  • on MacOSX it may be in /Applications/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse.ini
  • on Windows it may be in C:\Program Files\eclipse\eclipse.ini
  • on Linux its where you extracted the eclipse tarball.
• then find the line that starts with -vm and add on the next separate line the path to the java run-time binary, e.g. /usr/bin/java or C:\Program Files\Java SDK 1.8\bin\javaw (note there is no .exe).
  • If you can’t find the line that starts with -vm you should add it before the line starting with -vmargs
• to have enough memory to run Rascal please
  • set the stacksize using the command line arguments of eclipse -vmargs -Xss8m,
  • or you might set this in the eclipse.ini file.
    • find the line that starts with -vmargs and add on a separate line -Xss8m
