if you found out that the memory settings were not being used and in order to change the memory settings  I used the tomcat7w or tomcat8w in the  bin folder Then the following should pop up     Click the Java tab and add the arguments restart tomcat

You can also increase it via the VM arguments in your IDE  In my case  I am using Tomcat v7 0 which is running on Eclipse  To do this  double click on your server  Tomcat v7 0   Click the  Open launch configuration  link  Go to the  Arguments  tab  Add -XX MaxPermSize 512m to the VM arguments list  Click  Apply  and then  OK   Restart your server

You can use    -XX MaxPermSize 128m   to increase the space  But this usually only postpones the inevitable   You can also enable the PermGen to be garbage collected  -XX  UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX  CMSPermGenSweepingEnabled -XX  CMSClassUnloadingEnabled   Usually this occurs when doing lots of redeploys  I am surprised you have it using something like indexing  Use virtualvm or jconsole to monitor the Perm gen space and check it levels off after warming up the indexing   Maybe you should consider changing to another JVM like the IBM JVM  It does not have a Permanent Generation and is immune to this issue

For tomcat you can increase the permGem space by using    -XX MaxPermSize 128m   For this you need to create  if not already exists  a file named setenv sh in tomcat bin folder and include following line in it      export JAVA OPTS  -XX MaxPermSize 128m    Reference   http   wiki razuna com display ecp Adjusting Memory Settings for Tomcat
