Eclipse shortcut params

The following command line options are what I've found to work the best with Eclipse:

c:\path_to_eclipse\eclipse.exe -vm "C:\path_to_jvm\bin\javaw.exe" -Xmx512M -vmargs -DproxySet=true -DproxyHost=http.proxeee.ragsetty.com -DproxyPort=8888

-vm gives option to configure jdk version for your Eclipse

You can set these settings by creating a shortcut to eclipse.exe, right clicking on the shortcut, going to properties, and modify content of "Target" with above value.

These options will point to your installed JVM, set the proxy for updates, and prevent most out of memory errors by setting the maximum memory size for Eclipse to 512M.
