Fixing java.lang.outofmemoryerror in Mac OS X

Troubleshooting
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,
- Andrew Clarke.

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.
