Hi,

I'm attempting to increase the maximum heap space allocated to the JRE for eclipse; I've copied the eclipse.ini.ignored file from ~/snap/eclipse/111/amd64/configuration/eclipse.ini.ignored to ~/snap/eclipse/111/amd64/configuration/eclipse.ini and modified the -Xmx argument to be 4096m however, this isn't having any effect (obviously after closing and re-opening Eclipse):

$ diff ~/snap/eclipse/111/amd64/configuration/eclipse.ini.ignored ~/snap/eclipse/111/amd64/configuration/eclipse.ini
26c26
< -Xmx2048m
---
> -Xmx4096m
$ ps aux|grep eclipse
...
 -Xms256m -Xmx2048m
...

Cheers,
David
