I am getting Unable to execute dex: Java heap space Java heap space error while executing web driver script in Eclipse IDE. I have configured Eclipse IDE with Android SDK and AVD Manager.

I also increased the -Xms200m to -Xmx512m but it did not work.

The accepted solution to this post worked for me: Conversion to Dalvik format failed: Unable to execute dex: Java heap space

The gist is: Keep increasing the Xms and Xmx values until it either works or you run out of physical memory.

E.g.: -XX:MaxPermSize=1536m -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5 -Xms40m -Xmx1536m
