  • How to increase the Java Heap size ?

    Hi
    I am new to java. I have created a java application and i configured in Eclipse. While running my application it throws an error that
    "Exception in thread "Thread-21" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space"
    i have used threads in my application. Then i searched some forums regarding this. The answer i got is "Increase the java heap size" using
    "java -Xms64m -Xmx256m prog" in command prompt. while running.
    But i am not running my application in command prompt. I used Eclipse to run my application. Here my ultimate question is how to set the heap size while running the application in Eclipse and where to set in Eclipse.
    Kindly help me.

  • I need help increasing the stack/heap size of my JVM

    I am currently trying to run a recursive quick sort program to sort a reverse sorted array of 60,000. I realize this takes up a lot of memory and may not be the most efficient form of quick sort but I need to get some information from this program run. Everytime i try to run the program I get a stack overflow error. From what I have read on these forums this is due to an inadequate stack/heap. I have read that you just type a line of code in when you start up your JVM to increase the stack/heap but how exactly do you do this? Could someone give me a step by step process? I am new at this so the more details the better. Thanks!

    public static void quickSort(int f, int l){
         if (f < l){
              int m = split(f,l);
              quickSort(f, m-1);
              quickSort(m+1, l);
    public static int split(int f, int l){
         int x = a[f];
         int sp = f;
         for (int i=f+1; i<=l; i++){
              if(a[i] <= x){
                 sp++;
                 swap(i,sp);
         swap(f,sp);
         return sp;               
    // A method to swap values of an array
    public static void swap(int i, int j){
         int temp = a;
         a[i] = a [j];
         a[j] = temp;     
    }Haven't really looked at the code, but basically you'd have a source of randomness (an instance of Random for example) and choose x like this instead:private static Random random = new Random();
    public static int split(int f, int l){
         int x = a[random.nextInt(l-f) + f]; //but check for one-off errors here, I haven't checked this

  • How do I increase the menu font size for Bible Fox?

    I know how to increase page text size etc, but using (brown) Bible Fox theme, I can't increase the menu font size. Is there a way to do this?

    You can try to increase the String pref layout.css.devPixelsPerPx from 1.0 to 2.0 in 0.1 steps to see what works best.<br />
    In Firefox 3.6 and later this pref is a String value parsed to a float and allows to fine tune the dimensions of all elements more precisely.
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the <i>"Enter"</i> key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

  • How do you increase the Streaming buffer size in iTunes 10

    When I try to listen to the radio in ITunes it plays for 30 seconds then says rebuffering stream.
    I just upgraded to an iMac and my old dinasaur G4 does not have this problem.
    I've read things saying to increase the Streaming buffer size but I don't see how to do this anywhere.

    I don't think that is possible with newer iTunes versions.

  • How can I know the allocated Heap size at runtime?

    I need to know (at runtime) the allocated Heap memory of my application.
    How can I do that ??????

    The Runtime methods freeMemory() and totalMemory() will give you the currently allocated heap size. The JVM can allocate more memory from the system as it needs it and these numbers will change.
    It doesn't look like you can get the actual maximum heap size the system can allocate. See

  • Any way to increase the default Heap size for all Java VMs in Solaris 8

    Hello,
    I have a java product that deals with large databases under Solaris 8. It is a jar file, started by a cron job every night. Some nights it will fail because it runs out of Heap memory depending on the amount of records it has to deal with. I know that I could increase the java VM heap size with "java -jar -mx YY JARFILE" command but I have other java products that are showing the same behavior, and I would like to correct them all in one shot if possible.
    What I would like to do is find a system or configuration parameter that forces all Java VMs to use a larger MAX Heap size than the default 16M specified in the Man page for Java. Is there a way to accomplish that?
    TIA
    Maizo

    You could always download the source and modify it.

  • My browser is Firefox, my email program is Yahoo, when composing a new email, how would you increase the font of size of the characters?

    I am using Firefox browser, My email program is Yahoo.com and my Home page is Yahoo. My OS is Windows XP. When composing an email I sometimes want to increase the print size of the text in the email. I do not know the procedure to do this. Is sometimes prints very small.
    there some way that I can correct this problem?
    Thank you,
    Jeanette Gonzales

    Hi [email protected],
    If you are talking about the font only in your email, then that's a yahoo issue:
    http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/ymail/basics/basics-21.html
    If you think EVERYTHING is too small, you can try using [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-use-zoom Zoom]. This will increase/decrease the size of everything on the page. You can try hitting ''CTRL and +'' a few times to try it out. ''CTRL and 0'' will return it to normal size.
    If that isn't what you are looking for you, you might want to look into some of the [[Accessibility]] options. There is lots of good information in that article.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • How can I increase the event font size when printing a weekly listing from Lightning?

    I find a printed weekly calendar very useful in my life. I used to use the Sunbird calendar program with the FG Print extension to increase the font size to something more appropriate for my aged eyes. Is there a way to do this with Lightning? I'm running Thunderbird 24.2.0 on Linux Mint 13, if that matters.
    Thanks in advance.

    Are you using the print formatted page for printing? You can pop that up from the '''...''' menu that appears above the item. (Screen shot example attached.)
    If that page still is too small:
    * Is Firefox using the full area of the page? If Firefox is only using part of it, this could be related to a problem reading the correct "paper size" from your printer driver. More tips on that if needed.
    * If Firefox is using the full page it might be shrinking the content to make space horizontally. In a window where you can access the menu bar, check File>Page Setup or orange Firefox button>Print>Page Setup to make sure the scaling is not set too small or, if necessary, turn off Shrink to Fit.

  • How do I increase the menu font size/screen display?

    My husband is having issues reading the small fonts in all of the menus.  Pages, Numbers, Safari and Mail.
    I have been searching but have not been able to find anything.
    I havve a new iMac desktop and he has a new MacMini - purchased last week

    The only way to get a system wide enlargement of fonts would be to take down the resolution a notch. You can go to system preferences and then displays and take down your resolution. It will adjust  the pixels to a larger size so everything will appear slightly larger. If you don't like the result simply switch it back.

  • How do I increase the location box size and decrease the search box size? The location box has been getting smaller and smaller while the search box has taken over.

    The location box is so short I can not see the url I'm typing in, such as 'yahoo.com' while the search box is so long I can type a whole sentence into it

    Place the mouse pointer between the location bar and the search bar and it will become a resize icon that you can drag right or left to adjust the relative size of the two bars.

  • How do I increase the display screen size to accommodate HR monitor in Chrome

    I had this issue when I was first considering Ps CC and was able to correct it by going into Preferences or View (don't remember which) and making a correction for Chrome browsers I believe.  However I now am using Ps Elements 12 and having the same difficulty reading the small characters on the display.  I was thinking what worked initially with Ps CC would likewise work with Elements.  I just don't remember the details of the procedure I used suggested by someone here in the forum...

    Well, this would be the wrong forum for both of the applications you mention.  This is the proper Photoshop forum; we don't do the cheapo Elements version here.  Try the Elements forum:

  • How to increase JVM Heap Size

    Hi all,

    Jinitiator 1.3.1.30
    Apache POI 3.5
    From forms we are writing to excel files after copying XL template using Apache POI 3.5 and JDK 1.5. This XL template file has got lot of macros.
    We have imported the Java class files into form as pl/sql library. We are able to write upto 7Mb size of XL file. Beyond that size it comes with the error Ora-105101.
    We tried to increase the JVM Heap Size to 640M by setting values -Xmx640M everywhere in OC4J_BI_FORMS/Server Properties/Java Options, Home/Server Properties/Java Options through Enterprise Manager console. Also manually set the values in OPMN.XML and reloaded the same. Also set -Xmx640M in Jinitiator 1.3.1.30 Java Runtime Parameters. Also set in Java console. All settings have no effect.
    We have written a small program to display the run time memory from forms, which displays only maximum memory 63M all the time.

    Can anyone tell me where I am wrong... Can we increase the JVM Heap Size from forms...

    I have a simular problem.
    Via Forms I call a Java class (import Java class -> PL/SQL class java method).
    For this specific process I need to set the Xmx java option...
    How do I do this ?
    Changing the java option for the Forms-OC4J in the EM doesn't help.
    Is there an other level where I can modify this ?
    Does the java process of the forms is the single process that exists ? How does he handles such java calls?
    Are that separed java processes ? threads ? ....
    Thanks !!!

  • How can I increase the font size for safari?

    Does anyone know how I can increase the overall font size when in Safari?  I recently purchased a 21.5" iMac and while the screen is brilliant, the font size is very small when I'm using Safari.  Also, the web page is about a 1/3rd of the size of the screen.  Would anyone know how to make it such that a web page is across the full screen?  Otherwise, what's the point of such a big screen?
    Thanks!!

    To get full screen view, look down at right hand corner of page.
    You will see hash marks at a 45 degree angle in the corner.
    Set pointer on it, and grab out to full edge of screen.
    This works for all Apps including images.
    I do this as default, being I sit about 5-6 feet from the screen.
    Then use Pinch- Out to expand the page within the Browser.
    Pinch-Out works for all Images loaded on the screen as well.
    *You may know this already, grab browser window at the top edge,
    and move it near the left edge of screen first.
    I'll throw in a handy viewing tip of items saved on the desk top,
    or within the Finder so that you don't actually have to launch the item.
    Simply highlite it, then hit Space Bar.
    This is part of Quick View,,, The Eye Ball Icon in header of viewing Finder does the same thing.
    This works for all video files as well for a Quick View, w/o running huge ram loads.
    Hit Space again to turn it off , Quick View.
    You can leave it on if browsing stack of files, then arrow down or up for those views.
    Cheers
