How can I increase the JVM memory

Question

HI  I like to know can I increase the memory of the JVM depending on my application If yes how can I increase the JVM memory  And how can I know the size of JVM

User · Answer

If you are using Eclipse then you can do this by specifying the required size for the particular application in its Run Configuration's VM Arguments as EX: -Xms128m -Xmx512m

Or if you want all applications running from your eclipse to have the same specified size then you can specify this in the eclipse.ini file which is present in your Eclipse home directory.

To get the size of the JVM during Runtime you can use Runtime.totalMemory() which returns the total amount of memory in the Java virtual machine, measured in bytes.

When starting the JVM  two parameters can be adjusted to suit your memory needs    -Xms lt size gt    specifies the initial Java heap size and  -Xmx lt size gt    the maximum Java heap size    http   www rgagnon com javadetails java-0131 html

When calling java use the -Xmx Flag for example -Xmx512m for 512 megs for the heap size  You may also want to consider the -xms flag to start the heap larger if you are going to have it grow right from the start  The default size is 128megs
