Intellij IDEA won't start - java

When I open Intellij 14 , it starts the initial loading and then following is shown in the screen.After that it is vanished and program does not start.
But when I open the task manager it is shown in the Processes as per the below figure.
Sometimes the program starts after about 10 minutes .Sometimes it won't start at all.Can someone give me a solution on how to overcome this problem ?

Just like Tom, I too have increased the memory when IntelliJ asked and regretted it. This is the screen that asked for it:
However, in my case, instead of editing the .vmoptions files in the bin folder, IntelliJ created a new one in my home directory which I can only assume overrides the ones in the bin folder. I would assume this is typical of the new versions - I am using IntelliJ 2016.1 right now.
So, in order to fix this issue, go to C:\Users\<your_username>\.IntelliJIdea<version>\config (or your OS' equivalent) and delete the idea.exe.vmoptions and/or idea64.exe.vmoptions file from there. This should remove the override and have IntelliJ use the settings in the bin folder.
It might be worth checking the files in the bin folder as well, in case IntelliJ changes how it handles these settings.
Here are the default .vmoptions files in the installation's bin folder; you can't delete these as it will prevent IntelliJ from starting:
bin/idea.exe.vmoptions:
-server
-Xms128m
-Xmx512m
-XX:MaxPermSize=250m
-XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=150m
-ea
-Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false
-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
-Djsse.enableSNIExtension=false
-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC
-XX:SoftRefLRUPolicyMSPerMB=50
bin/idea64.exe.vmoptions
-Xms128m
-Xmx750m
-XX:MaxPermSize=350m
-XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=225m
-ea
-Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false
-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
-Djsse.enableSNIExtension=false
-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC
-XX:SoftRefLRUPolicyMSPerMB=50

I got an out-of-memory dialog on intellij 15 and took an option on that dialog to increase max memory. Thereafter I could not start intellij. So, I looked in the intellij /bin folder for a pid file (per another stack overflow question) to see what was happening, but I could not find one. There was however a file (idea.exe.vmoptions) that had changed (to hold my new memory setting). So I edited that file to set max memory back to what I had before, and now it works.

You can try to open Intellij on CLI.
cd C:\Program Files\JetBrains\IntelliJ IDEA 2020.1\bin
later then execute this command
idea.bat
Probably Intellij will open. If it will not open then you can see the error message why it will not open on CLI.

Just updated IntelliJ to a newer version, and I followed the 'configure' link to double the memory used for IntelliJ which I later regret. IntelliJ could not restart. Open the system.log (e.g. Use CMD+SPACE_BAR and search 'console' on MacOs, then go to system.log), I can see IntelliJ aborted a few times with an abnormal code 1. Here the lines related to the launch,
Processing VMOptions file at
/Users/[user]/Library/Preferences/IntelliJIdea2019.2/idea.vmoptions
com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (com.jetbrains.intellij.22016[2971]): Service exited with abnormal code: 1
I can see the path from where IntelliJ loads vm options during the launch.
Checking the bin/ of my IntelliJ application, I can see another version of the idea.vmoptions file that has a slightly older timestamp. By comparing the content of the two files, I now realized that IntelliJ created another vm option file that has only a sub set of options in a newer location which broke the restart. Deleting or just safely renaming the newer file in the [User] sub directory fixed my problem.

C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\JetBrains\
if you are a Windows user, remove this directory. It helped me

Edit C:\Program Files (x86)\JetBrains\IntelliJ IDEA 15.0.6\bin\idea.exe.vmoptions the Xmx to Xmx512
-server
-Xms128m
-Xmx512m

Following steps helped me to overcome the Java heap size related issues on InteliJ IDEA.
Go to the location where you have installed the IDEA IDE and search for the following file:
idea64.exe.vmoptions
Change it accordingly.
-Xms4196m
-Xmx8092m
-XX:MaxPermSize=1000m
-XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=1024m
-ea
-Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false
-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
-Djsse.enableSNIExtension=false
-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC
-XX:SoftRefLRUPolicyMSPerMB=50
Also be aware of the 32-bit address space limit on Windows which makes it hard to use heap sizes higher than 750m. Should you need to use larger heap, make sure to switch to the 64-bit JVM first, otherwise IDE may crash on start or start to crash randomly during work.

For me, the cause was a bad plugin.
I moved all plugins in below directory to a backup directory, and started IDEA, and it started without an issue.
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\JetBrains\IntelliJIdea2021.2\plugins
Then, copied plugins back to the above directory one by one, to identify the broken plugin.

You might also check your IDEA_JDK_64, JAVA_HOME and JDK_HOME environmental variables. In my case I updated Java version and deleted previous directory containing JDK. Then IntelliJ started to dissapear from processes just a few seconds after launch. I changed all paths to point proper JDK directory and then it started to work as it should.

Check the logs for error or issue in the path C:\Users\.IntelliJIdea14\system\log\idea.log.
If that report HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError
Go to VM options files in the path C:\Program Files\JetBrains\IntelliJ IDEA 2018.2.6\bin
Increase the -Xms750m to greater value say -Xms900m .
That solve the issue for me

Had a similar issue.
idea64.exe just didn't start silently.
idea.bat printed just IDE is being shut down and didn't start either.
In my case there was no effect of manipulations with idea64.exe.vmoptions, but it helped to find and kill from Task Manager an invisible orphan idea64.exe process.
This solution was hinted by the first comment by #CrazyCoder at https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360009511720--Solved-Idea-Community-doesn-t-start-after-update-to-2020-1-4.

How to run Eclipse memory analyzer on Mac os?

I have some issues with running Eclipse memory analyzer on my laptop.
This happen when i have just downloaded(from the place) and executed application:
And i can't figure out what is the cause of problem. Can someone help me???
Move mat.app to ./Applications solve my problems
This is a bug, you can run command:
1. cd mat.app/Contents/MacOS
2. ./MemoryAnalyzer
It looks like a permission problem with the default directory.
From this discussion : Memory Analyzer ยป Setting up workspace directory?.
It is indicated that you should edit your MemoryAnalyzer.ini file, and add those lines (on two separate lines, and before the vm arguments), replacing the second with the path where you want the MemoryAnalyzer to write its content:
-data
<desired path of your working directory>
Find the MemoryAnalyzer.ini file .
Add the following content:
-vm
<your Java1.7 path>
Does the latest Eclipse Memory Analyzer snapshot build work better for you? This is a signed and notarized dmg not a zip so might be easier to install.
I was having issue running MAT(Eclipse memory analyzer) on Mac. So I have tried installing "Eclipse Memory Analyzer" plugin in Sts that I use, it worked.
You can also install MAT as plugin in Eclipse/STS that you use already.
One more solution is to
open mat.app --args -data ~/<your-folder>

intellij idea failed to create JVM error code -1

I have intellij-idea installed. Although I have set JAVA_HOME environment variable referring to "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_45" but when I try to run it, I end up with the following error:
failed to create JVM: error code -1. JVM path: "C:\Program Files\JetBrains\IntelliJ IDEA 2017.2.2\jre64\" if you have a 64-bit jdk installed, define a JAVA_HOME variable in Computer> system variables> system settings> environment variables.
Windows 7_ 64-bit
My workaround was to go to C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\JetBrains\IntelliJIdea2020.3\idea64.exe vmoptions file and delete the whole content. The error disappeared and IntelliJ started normally.
Note that there are 2 .vmoptions files. There is the one in the bin directory and an override in
%HOMEPATH%\IntelliJIdea\config
For me the answer was to remove -Xmx and -Xms options from the override file.
Please check your phpstorm64.exe.vmoptions file located at bin folder and remove option
-XX:+UseG1GC
it is not a JAVA_HOME issue, you no doubt have touched the *.vmoptions files in bin folder. if you have entered the licence sever in the *.vmpotions file, notice that it should be like this "-javaagent:C:\Program Files....." don't forget to include "-javaagent:" at the beginning of the license server ;)
The file may be corrupted after a bad manipulation.
Just copy and paste the idea{64}.exe.vmoptions from
%IntelliJ installation path%/bin to %User IntelliJ data path%/config.
For example :
Copy "C:/Program Files/JetBrains/IntelliJ IDEA 2019.2.3/bin/idea64.exe.vmoptions" and paste into "C:/Users/HP/.IntelliJIdea2019.2/config"
I've been using IntelliJ for some time and this issue popped up sometime ago for me too. The issue is with a "VMOPTIONS" file. C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans Go to this location and inside you'll find a VMOPTIONS file. Delete it. Now run the Application and it should work. This VMOPTIONS file is infact a copy of the original VMOPTION file located else where but which can also override the default VMOPTIONS. So deleting this copy with some invalid options inside fixes the problem.
If a VMOPTIONS file doesn't exist in the above path, Go to this location C:\Program Files\JetBrains\IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition xxxx.x.x\bin and run the idea.bat file. Not the exe file. This should fix any and all other problems and let you open the application with out getting that error.
You might have the JRE_HOME environment variable set in your system. Remove that and try again. It generally overwrites the JAVA_HOME variable.
I am just copy file "phpstorm64.exe.vmoptions" from C:\Program Files\JetBrains\PhpStorm 2019.3.1\bin and paste it(replace) in C:\Users\{{your username}}\.PhpStorm2019.3\config
It works fine for me..
I got such error when adding JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS in environment variables. Try to rename this variable to JAVA_OPTS restart IDE and rename again to JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS. Or simply delete JAVA_TOOLS_OPTIONS if it is not required
You can find default vmoptions file of windows 64bit version of it in :
C:\Users{user}\AppData\Roaming\JetBrains\PhpStorm..\phpstorm64.exe.vmoptions
You can reinstall phpstorm as well ,it's quick.
I simply removed JAVA_HOME from system variable then again added and saved.
Restart IntelliJ again. Worked fine for me.
It works fine with Webstorm
JAVA_HOME. Watch this tutorial
Delete .vmoptions file. It contains in:
C:\Program Files\WebStorm 2021.3\bin
C:\Users\%USER%\AppData\Roaming\JetBrains\WebStorm2021.3 OR C:\Users\%USER%\.somewhere
I had added
-T 6C clean install -Dmaven.test.skip=true lines. Then I removed them, program is working now.
try to launch idea64.exe from the cmd and see if it works

Grails default memory settings in IntelliJ

I am using Grails 2.5.1 and Java 8 with IntelliJ 14.1.4. Whenever I run any grails command (eg: clean) using the Grails Run Target (Ctrl+Alt+g), IntelliJ executes the below command:
C:\iDocs\Programs\Java\jdk1.8.0_60\bin\java -Dgrails.home=C:\iDocs\Programs\grails-2.5.1 -Dbase.dir=C:\iDocs\xxxx -Dtools.jar=C:\iDocs\Programs\Java\jdk1.8.0_60\lib\tools.jar -Dgroovy.starter.conf=C:\iDocs\Programs\grails-2.5.1/conf/groovy-starter.conf -Xmx768M -Xms768M -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -XX:PermSize=256m -Djline.WindowsTerminal.directConsole=false -Dfile.encoding=windows-1252 -classpath C:\iDocs\Programs\grails-2.5.1\lib\org.codehaus.groovy\groovy-all\jars\groovy-all-2.4.4.jar;C:\iDocs\Programs\grails-2.5.1\dist\grails-bootstrap-2.5.1.jar org.codehaus.groovy.grails.cli.support.GrailsStarter --main org.codehaus.groovy.grails.cli.GrailsScriptRunner --conf C:\iDocs\Programs\grails-2.5.1/conf/groovy-starter.conf "clean -plain-output"
Can anyone give me the location for this VM configuration (highlighted above) that I can edit, especially the PermSize and MaxPermSize?
UPDATE:
Note:
a) Adding it to VM options on Run Target window doesnt modify it.
b) Adding it to the VM options of IntelliJ executeable (idea64.exe.vmoptions) also doesnt work.
Go to (IntelliJ installation bin directory):
<Installation Dir>/JetBrains/IntelliJ IDEA <version>/bin
Modify:
idea.exe.vmoptions
idea64.exe.vmoption
This is in context to a windows setup. You can find the corresponding in OSX.
UPDATE:
For Grails application, setting up GRAILS_OPTS as environment variables is also an option.
I contacted the IntelliJ support and unfortunately, it is not supported by the IDE. An issue has been created to track the same:
https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-145433
If anyone is facing the same issue, please upvote the issue created (IDEA-145433) and comment in there.

Help setting up Java VM size

Well I am very new to Java and can't understand how am I supposed to set the virtual machine's size. I've built a small web applet that displays images. Sometimes the images can be pretty large, when this happens I get:
*Exception in thread "Image Fetcher 0" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space*
I've been trying to follow different instructions that I found on the Internet and have finally created this shortcut to Eclipse with the following command-line:
"C:\Documents and Settings\Dror Well\Desktop\temp\Eclipse\eclipse\eclipse\eclipse.exe"
-vmargs -vm "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_14\bin"
\"C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe" -Xms256m -Xmx1024m
What am I missing? How should this be done?
In that line you have set the VM args to the Java process that Eclipse runs in. What you need to do for your application is to set the -Xmx512m (or however big you want it to be) for the application that you are running. You can do this from the Run dialog.
From the Run menu, choose 'Open Run Dialog'. In there, you should see on the left side a list of programs. If you have run it once already, yours should be listed in the Java Applications node. Select it and on the right panel, go to the Arguments tab. There will be a VM Arguments text box. Enter your -Xmx arg there.
The parameters should be passed to the JVM running your application, not the one running Eclipse. Try looking through the debug settings in Eclipse, there should be some place to put the -Xmx and -Xms parameters.
Since the images can be pretty large, you should look at the following alternatives:
Allocate more memory to the Java executable that will be launched by Eclipse (not Eclipse itself). This can be done via the VM arguments for the runtime configuration that you use to run the application in Eclipse.
Switch to the parallel garbage collector, using the -XX:+UseParallelGC flag for the application (again, this is not for Eclipse). This wont help if you have large objects retained in memory for a long period of time.
For Eclipse you need to update the eclipse.ini file in order to set any JVM properties. Full details on where the file is and how to update it this link.

OutOfMemory in Eclipse in a Launched process

I have an OutOfMemory (heap size) in eclipse using a third party plugin
The plug in is Adobe Livecycle work bench and during the out of memory the
plugin is retrieving via WS (using Axis) a list of around 70 workflow components
on my server
Here is a extract of my call stack in Eclipse
... at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.main(Main.java:1144)
Caused by: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space; nested
exception is: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space at
org.apache.axis.message.SOAPFaultBuilder.createFault ...
I am using this eclipse.ini
-showlocation
-vm
C:\bea920\jdk150_04\bin\javaw.exe
-vmargs
-Xms512M
-Xmx1024M
I don't use any commandline options
I have added -Xmx1024m to my only Installed JRE in Java/Installed JREs
It seems to me that :
-eclipse is not OutOfMemory itself
it displays only 300Mo out of 1024Mo used
it continues working properly
-the plugin launch its axis parsing without giving it enough memory
Questions :
- Are my suppositions right ?
- How do I find where and how to give more memory to the process launched by eclipse launcher ?
Have you changed your launched VM arguments from the preferences window? Try this:
Window->Preferences
Java->Installed JREs
(select your jre here)->Edit..
Default VM Arguments: -Xmx1024m (or whatever size you like)
Edit 1: Based on your comments, I see that you've already tried this. I assumed that you did not try it based on the portion of your question that reads "How do I find where and how to give more memory to the process launched by eclipse launcher ?". I guess we all know what happens when we assume!
Have you considered upping the memory to something larger just to see if you can get it to run (and possibly get some more info about what is causing it to crash)? Try -Xmx2048m or larger depending on your available memory.
Can you add some information to your question that gives us an idea of what the plugin does? Is this project a web service? etc..
See if you are passing Xms and Xmx options in the command line that you are running eclipse with. The values there will override the values in the eclipse.ini
I think you need to edit your eclipse.ini file which is located in the
same directory as your eclipse exe file. It will contain the -Xms settings
which you can then change.
I recommend running eclipse with the -clean option to purge any caches and re-read your settings.
Also, I've had success moving the eclipse.ini out of the eclipse directory (so there's no eclipse.ini), running eclipse, exiting, moving the ini file back and running again. I didn't bother to try to understand why that helped.
Add -XX:MaxPermSize=256m
This is yet-another-memory-type in Java.
I was able to find were the problem is
I used Fiddler with eclipse (using proxy settings)
This way I was able to spot that the soap answer was an OutOfMemory
soapenv:Fault
faultcode soapenv:Server.generalException
faultstring java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space; nested exception is:
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
So the problem was on the server
I have now another problem : the server builds an answer which is to big for eclipse
Thank you for your answers
