List to big for array

Question

I am attempting to place more than 135,000 indexed objects into an array called moveNBH. The array cannot handle that number of objects. I keep getting the memoryOutOfBounds error. ANy ideas how to instantiate a data structure taht accepts that many objects (and more!)
Thank you.
public void mvNBH() {     //read in neighborhood
     String fname = "D:/myprojects/bays29_1_7_11_14.txt";
    try   {
      FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(new File(fname));
      StreamTokenizer stream = new StreamTokenizer(new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader (fis)));
      stream.eolIsSignificant(true);
      String kjNBH = "";
      StringBuffer temp = new StringBuffer("");
      int numCity = 0;
      stream.nextToken();
      int city = (int)stream.nval;
      stream.nextToken();
      int nbhd = (int)stream.nval;
      stream.nextToken();
      System.out.println("Number of cities= " + city + "  Size of neighborhood= " + nbhd);
      while(stream.nextToken() != stream.TT_EOF) {
        if (numCity < city) {
          temp.append((int)stream.nval);
          temp.append(" ");
        else {
          numCity=0;
          stream.nextToken();
          temp.append((int)stream.nval);
          temp.append(" ");
          }       // end else
        numCity++;
        }        // end while now EOF
      kjNBH = temp.toString();
      String item = "";
      int nbIndex = 0;
      StringTokenizer tokens = new StringTokenizer ( kjNBH );
      for(int j=0; j < nbhd; j++) {
        int[] gapArray = new int [city];
        for (int i=0; i < gapArray.length; i++) {
          item = tokens.nextToken();
          Integer k = Integer.valueOf(item);
          gapArray[i] = k.intValue();
        moveNBH.add(j, gapArray);
        gapArray = null;
        }   //end add new array
      }   //end try
    catch (Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
      }  //end catch
    } //end build neighboorhood

The article at the link shown below shows you how to increase the amount of memory for your java application (assuming you have enough physical memory).
