Fixing java.lang.outofmemoryerror in Mac OS X

Submitted by AndrewClarke on Tuesday, 5 December, 2006 - 11:27

I want to increase my heap space from 64MB since I run out so often. I have read about and know the command line switch to do this, but I can't figure out how to set this up so it happens automatically when I click on the JEdit.app icon in OS X. Can anyone tell me how to do this?

Thank you very much,

You have to edit the Info.plist file.

If you explore the jEdit.app, you'll see the directory "Contents". There you'll find the Info.plist file. For me, I edited this section:

<dict>
	<key>Arguments</key>
	<string>-background</string>
	<key>ClassPath</key>
	<string>jedit.jar:/System/Library/Java/</string>
	<key>JVMVersion</key>
	<string>1.5+</string>
	<key>VMOptions</key>
	<string>-Xms64m -Xmx512m</string>
	<key>MainClass</key>
	<string>org.gjt.sp.jedit.jEdit</string>
</dict>

Adding VMOptions and the min/max heapspace sizes. Learn from the past. Live in the present. Plan for the future.

Thank you very much. That wa

Thank you very much. That was exactly what I needed! JEdit won't let me use -Xmx3072m so can't open my 1.25GB text file but with -Xmx1024m at least I can easily edit the 15MB ones Smiling
