Heap size on MacOSX
Submitted by on Tuesday, 13 September, 2005 - 11:26
I have a PhD student who is trying to use jEdit to edit large XML files under MacOSX: not
surprisingly, it fails with out of memory errors. So, how do I change the heap size
under MacOSX? There seems to be no documentation at all on this. I could, of course,
write a bash script to run jEdit, or something ugly like that, or I could teach my student
to use emacs (which has much less trouble editing large files). But is there a way of
doing this in jEdit?
Thanks
