Unable to execute dex: GC overhead limit exceeded in Eclipse

When I downloaded the Git project OsmAnd and went to compile it, Eclipse returned these errors:

[Dex Loader] Unable to execute dex: GC overhead limit exceeded
[OsmAnd]     Conversion to Dalvik format failed: 
             Unable to execute dex: GC overhead limit exceeded

Google and Stackoverflow said that I must change -Xms40m -Xmx384m in eclipse.ini. Conversion to Dalvik format failed: Unable to execute dex: Java heap space.
I cleaned project and restarted Eclipse, but it did not help.

I found this link: Tips for Android developer: “Conversion to Dalvik format failed: Unable to execute dex: null” But I do not know which .jar from my project to change the input in. If anyone can help, I can send the project to them.

It can be fixed by changing the VM values in Eclipse.ini. Set the values to 512 and 1024 as shown below:

 openFile --launcher.XXMaxPermSize 512M -showsplash org.eclipse.platform --launcher.defaultAction openFile -vmargs -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5 -Xms512m -Xmx1024m

For me following steps worked

1) Open eclipse.ini file
2)changed
-Xms40m
-Xmx512m
to 
-Xms512m
-Xmx1024m

3)Restart eclipse
