If you don't want to set the permgen size for EVERY launch, you can also add the Parameter to the Debug Configuration.

Run > Debug Configurations

Choose the "Eclpise Application"-Configuration on the right side and choose Arguments in the Tabs.

Add -XX:MaxPermSize=512m to the VM arguments:

-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.6 -Xms256m -Xmx4g -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -XX:MaxPermSize=512m
