I need to make notes as I transition to an OS X java development environment. So I figured I would share my experience in this forum.

    Giving Eclipse more juice

    I don't know about other Java geeks, but I have grown past the default 256 mg limit settings 3 years ago. On Linux this was easy we just passed in arguments on the terminal or set them as params of a start script. The dmg install of Eclipse hides this with the .app extension which is hidden from the finder. This extension lets OSX know that this is an application folder inside the .app folder is the eclipse.ini file where the change can be set.

    /Applications/eclipse/Eclipse.app/eclipse.ini
