JBoss AS 7 deployment dilemma, eclipse vs standalone.bat - eclipse

Question

![enter image description here][1]I am using Eclipse plug-in to deploy my J2EE application on JBoss AS 7.
I made changes in JBOSS_HOME/bin/standalone.conf as well as in standalone.conf.bat, where I updated the JVM heap sizes.
If I deploy the application via eclipse, the modified JVM configuriation isn't applied during the server start up. However, when I start it, using the standalone.conf.bat the changes are reflected during the start up as expected.
Is there anything I'm missing that eclipse fails to pick up?
Here is how the standalone.conf reads:
#JAVA=""
if [ "x$JBOSS_MODULES_SYSTEM_PKGS" = "x" ]; then
JBOSS_MODULES_SYSTEM_PKGS="org.jboss.byteman"
fi
# Uncomment the following line to prevent manipulation of JVM options
# by shell scripts.
#
#PRESERVE_JAVA_OPTS=true
#
# Specify options to pass to the Java VM.
#
if [ "x$JAVA_OPTS" = "x" ]; then
JAVA_OPTS="-Xms256m -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true - Dorg.jboss.resolver.warning=true -Dsun.rmi.dgc.client.gcInterval=3600000 - Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=3600000"
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Djboss.modules.system.pkgs=$JBOSS_MODULES_SYSTEM_PKGS - Djava.awt.headless=true"
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Djboss.server.default.config=standalone.xml"
else
echo "JAVA_OPTS already set in environment; overriding default settings with values: $JAVA_OPTS"
fi
standalone.conf.bat:
if not "x%JAVA_OPTS%" == "x" (
echo "JAVA_OPTS already set in environment; overriding default settings with values: %JAVA_OPTS%"
goto JAVA_OPTS_SET
)
rem # JVM memory allocation pool parameters - modify as appropriate.
set "JAVA_OPTS=-Xms64M -Xmx512M -XX:MaxPermSize=256M"
rem # Reduce the RMI GCs to once per hour for Sun JVMs.
set "JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Dsun.rmi.dgc.client.gcInterval=3600000 - Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=3600000 -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true"
The eclipse runtime clearly points to c: where i have done the edits to configuration files

Answer 1

You can specify heap size in VM arguments within eclipse.
Double click on Server-> Open Launch Configuration -> enter heap size in VM argument.

Answer 2

Since there is no other answer yet, here's my assumption.
Did you made the changes directly under the JBOSS_HOME/.... or in Eclipse for the JBoss instance? For any reason you can't make the changes under
Eclipse -> Server -> JBoss7_Runtime -> Filesets -> Configuration File -> standalone.xml
This is different from the Tomcat instance, where it is usual to edit the server.xml configuration file in eclipse as well. May be there is a workaround for the JBoss runtime, so that you can edit the config in eclipse too.
