[jbosstools-dev] Some questions about migrating to Java 8 and Mars

[Brian Fitzpatrick]

Hey folks,

I'm starting to move the SwitchYard editor to Java 8 and Eclipse Mars. The biggest thing is I'm hitting some issues when building in Eclipse using the m2e code (Maven->Update Project). Specifically, I'm seeing "An internal error occurred during: "Updating Maven Project".
GC overhead limit exceeded"

I've tried updating the -XX:MaxPermSize=256m to -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=256m per the suggestions here (https://dzone.com/articles/java-8-permgen-metaspace) but it hasn't made any difference.

Nick suggested updating the build to use Tycho 0.23.1, but that hasn't made a difference.

Anybody have any suggestions on what to try?

Thanks
--Fitz
