Eclipse

Increase icon size for large screens

-Dswt.autoScale=quarter

Eclipse autoscale comes with some examples. Basically quarter means leave it to the system to scale in 25% steps. Alternatively, use integers like 200 to scale to 200%.

-Dswt.autoScale=200

Memory settings ParallelGC

In theory, the ParallelGC should be better.

-Xmn512m
-Xms3g
-Xmx3g
-XX:+UseParallelGC
-XX:+UseParallelOldGC
-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

Memory settings G1

Where the G1 is optimized for shorter GC pause, which maybe is good too.

-Xmn512m
-Xms2048m
-Xmx3072m
-XX:+UseG1GC
-XX:+UseStringDeduplication
-XX:+ParallelRefProcEnabled
-XX:+UseFastAccessorMethods
-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
