Increasing java heap size in Windows XP
Submitted by jcaponi on Thursday, 28 August, 2008 - 17:18
I'm trying to increase memory heap size to deal with this error:

'There was insuffficient Java heap memory to complete this request. Try increasing the maximum heap size"

I've found references like this:
http://www.philroche.net/archives/jedit-still-going-strong-increase-heap-size/
and this
http://hausheer.osola.com/docs/5

but not sure where these parameters get set: command line? Jedit Properties control panel?
Would appreciate any advice,
thanks

Yes, those are command line properties.

If you want them to take effect the easiest way on windows xp, is to right-click on your jEdit shortcut and select properties.

In the Target field, append those properties.
Mine looks like:

%JAVA_HOME%\bin\javaw.exe -Xms128M -Xmx512M -jar "C:\Program Files\jEdit\jedit.jar" -reuseview
[/quote]

Hope that helps.
