[udig-devel] How to increase heap/stack size for uDig?

[Jody Garnett]

The same command line options that can be used for eclipse.exe can be 
used for udig.exe -

C:\java\eclipse\eclipse.exe -vmargs -Xmx756m

You can also control the initial size when you exporting your 
application (it ends up changing the eclipse.ini file next to 
eclipse.exe) the one that ships with my eclipse has a line like the 
following: -vmargs -Xms40m -Xmx256m

The configuration/config.ini file used to control some of this stuff 
back in Eclipse 3.1 days.

Loading everything into memory is fast; but scary as data sizes get bigger.

Cheers,
Jody
