How to Increase the Virtual Memory Allocation in Java
- 1). If you don't already have Java installed, download the Java Development kit installation program from the Oracle-Sun website and run it to install Java on your machine.
- 2). You can execute your Java program from the command line using the command
"java progName" - 3). If you need to run the same program using more virtual memory, add the argument -Xmx followed by a size in K or M, with no intervening space. For example, type
"java -Xmx500M progName"
to add 500 megabytes of virtual memory.
