Java Heap Space Error

megabri

<p>I have a large BIRT report and I'm totally stuck right now.  I can't save and it takes FOREVER to modify anything.  When i try to save it gives me a java heap error then asks me to exit (see attached). </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I know the target of my Birt shortcut was modified, i'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.  It's currently set to:</p>
<p>C:\eclipse_birt\eclipse.exe -vm "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -vmargs -Xmx512m</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyone know how to fix this?</p>

<p>Hi Megabri,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You may be able to fix this by increasing your heap size withing the eclispe.ini to be the following:</p>
<p> </p>
<div>openFile</div>
<div>-vmargs</div>
<div>-Xms512m</div>
<div>-Xmx1024m</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I would also suggest trying the -Xms512m as this may improve the performance while attempting to make modifications.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Please note, you will need available RAM on your system for these settings.  If you do not have much RAM available, please try to increment these settings slowly.  I.E. use -Xms128m and -Xmx738m</div>
