OutofMemoryError in #977 Anonymous User Created November 27, 2003 13:43 I get a lot of these errors with 977. Im running it on XP PRo with 768 Megs. How do I increase the memory allocated to IDEA?Thanks
in your ]]>/bin there is a file called idea.lax. In that file you will find the memory settings.
More precisely, look for:
lax.nl.java.option.additional=-Xms160m -Xmx256m -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true -D
idea.system.path="..
system" -Didea.config.path="..
config" -Didea.popup.w
eight=heavy
Change the -Xmx to something higher (this is the maximum heap size). I've
found -Xmx256m (256MB of RAM) to be fine for most purposes. Don't forget
the 'm' at the end, -Xmx256 means 256 bytes, whereas -Xmx256m means 256
megabytes.
