Unable to execute dex: GC overhead limit exceeded -> libraries

Question

I needed to create new project of my existing previous. I copied src, res and manifest but when I import external libs (BugSense, AChartEngine) it wont start and I get

[2014-01-26 14:58:01 - Dex Loader] Unable to execute dex: GC overhead limit exceeded [2014-01-26 14:58:01 - MyApp] Conversion to Dalvik format failed: Unable to execute dex: GC overhead limit exceeded

When I uncheck Android private libraries in Java Build Path / Order and Export it runs in mobile device but it crashes on:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.bugsense.trace.BugSenseHandler

It worked well before.

You could try increasing Eclipse's heap space and see if that helps: wiki.eclipse.org/… — CommonsWare

It helps but I dont know why it suddenly needs so much memory — SpeedEX505

go to your eclipse folder and find a file called eclipse.ini and change this

Accepted answer, although on Mac OS, eclipse.ini is not directly visible, but under "package contents" of the Eclipse executable. Reference: wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini#-vm_value:_Mac_OS_X_Example
