    Hi,
    in your installation folder, remove
    –launcher.XXMaxPermSize
    256m
    from titaniumstudio.ini and start again, works for me.

  • It is better to modify the launcher.XXMaxPermSize to 128m. Because eliminating this may give an error message with the size of the PermGen

    • good solution for me, too

      — commented August 27th 2013 by Milan Kanči

  • after trail and error, it is found that if you try to lower the -Xmx to 768m from 1024m, the studio can run with the 256m MaxPermSize.

    when doing the debug, the MaxPermSize seems quite important, which can make the console dont crash a lot due to not enough PermSize.

    • I've tried every solution on this page. This is the only one that has worked so far. The other solutions would get Ti open, but it would soon crash.

      — commented August 25th 2012 by Justin Wehrman

    • worked for me too, thanks. I had Xmx2048m, changed it to Xmx1024 and maxPermSize to 512m

  • Same thing. This TitaniumStudio.ini is helpful for me:
    -startup
    plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.2.0.v20110502.jar
    –launcher.library
    plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_1.1.100.v20110502
    –launcher.XXMaxPermSize
    128m
    –launcher.defaultAction
    openFile
    -name
    Appcelerator
    -vmargs
    -Xms512m
    -Xmx512m
    -Declipse.p2.unsignedPolicy=allow
    -Djava.awt.headless=true
    -XX:PermSize=128m
    -XX:MaxPermSize=128m
    -Xverify:none
    -XX:+UseParallelGC
    -XX:+AggressiveOpts
    -XX:+UseFastAccessorMethods

  • What worked for me, on my Windows 7.0 PC, was to put the path to the Java runtime environment in my PATH system variable. I also fixed the CLASSPATH value since it was pointing to an older, uninstalled version of the JDK.

    Hope this helps someone.

  • I just noticed that I had NeoOffice running while trying to launch Titanium Studio. I also tried to update Java by running Software update and there was an update to Java for Mac OS X which I installed. I also closed NeoOffice which I think is large Java based application.

    One of these things solved my problem for sure.
    Guys please post if you have had a similar experience.
