    What I've seen quite often are out of memory exceptions of the
    classloader. To avoid them increase the maxpermsize.

    Example eclipse.ini:

    -showsplash
    org.eclipse.platform
    --launcher.XXMaxPermSize
    256M
    -vmargs
    -Xms256m
    -Xmx512m
    -XX:MaxPermSize=256m
    -Dosgi.bundlefile.limit=1000
