[java] Set default heap size in Windows

Setup JAVA_OPTS as a system variable with the following content:

JAVA_OPTS="-Xms256m -Xmx512m"

After that in a command prompt run the following commands:

SET JAVA_OPTS="-Xms256m -Xmx512m"

This can be explained as follows:

  • allocate at minimum 256MBs of heap
  • allocate at maximum 512MBs of heap

These values should be changed according to application requirements.

EDIT:

You can also try adding it through the Environment Properties menu which can be found at:

  1. From the Desktop, right-click My Computer and click Properties.
  2. Click Advanced System Settings link in the left column.
  3. In the System Properties window click the Environment Variables button.
  4. Click New to add a new variable name and value.
  5. For variable name enter JAVA_OPTS for variable value enter -Xms256m -Xmx512m
  6. Click ok and close the System Properties Tab.
  7. Restart any java applications.

EDIT 2:

JAVA_OPTS is a system variable that stores various settings/configurations for your local Java Virtual Machine. By having JAVA_OPTS set as a system variable all applications running on top of the JVM will take their settings from this parameter.

To setup a system variable you have to complete the steps listed above from 1 to 4.
