Question

Answer 1

try java -Xmx1024m filename.

I found this on StackOverflow What does Java option -Xmx stand for? and use it when I start Netbeans for instance.

use it like this

java -Xmx1024m -jar JavaApplication.jar

info: -Xmxn Specify the maximum size, in bytes, of the memory allocation pool. This value must be a multiple of 1024 greater than 2MB. Append the letter k or K to indicate kilobytes, or m or M to indicate megabytes. The default value is 64MB. The upper limit for this value will be approximately 4000m on Solaris 7 and Solaris 8 SPARC platforms and 2000m on Solaris 2.6 and x86 platforms, minus overhead amounts.
