title: How to set JVM options for Tomcat instance executed from eclipse
body: <p>I'm developing a Java/Spring/Hibernate application with eclipse which is deployed to tomcat and I'm having serious <code>java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded</code> issues.</p>
  
  <p>I want to try to tweak the JVM settings used by the tomcat instance used by eclipse when launching the application.</p>
  
  <p>Do you know how can I set the JVM tomcat parameters from eclipse? +1 if you know which files are affected.</p>
  
  <p>I'm using tomcat 7.0.12, installed from a tar archive on a Linux machine.</p>
  
  <p>I googled for hours but I couldn't find a working solution, TIA.</p>
