increase your heap size
[divzero@localhost xith3d]$ java -X -?
-Xmixed mixed mode execution (default)
-Xint interpreted mode execution only
-Xbootclasspath:<directories and zip/jar files separated by :>
set search path for bootstrap classes and resources
-Xbootclasspath/a:<directories and zip/jar files separated by :>
append to end of bootstrap class path
-Xbootclasspath/p:<directories and zip/jar files separated by :>
prepend in front of bootstrap class path
-Xnoclassgc disable class garbage collection
-Xincgc enable incremental garbage collection
-Xloggc:<file> log GC status to a file with time stamps
-Xbatch disable background compilation
-Xms<size> set initial Java heap size
-Xmx<size> set maximum Java heap size
-Xss<size> set java thread stack size
-Xprof output cpu profiling data
-Xrunhprof[:help]|[:<option>=<value>, ...]
perform JVMPI heap, cpu, or monitor profiling
-Xdebug enable remote debugging
-Xfuture enable strictest checks, anticipating future default
-Xrs reduce use of OS signals by Java/VM (see documentation)
-Xcheck:jni perform additional checks for JNI functions
The -X options are non-standard and subject to change without notice.
naimly :
-Xms set initial Java heap size
-Xmx set maximum Java heap size
eg. java -Xms256M -Xmx512M
The bigger the initial heap size - the less agressive (read less pauses) the GC will have to be as it has heaps of room to move (no pun intended). The larger the heap size - the longer it will take to get the error you are getting.
Will.
