How to deal with “java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space” error?

Question

I am writing a client-side Swing application (graphical font designer) on Java 5. Recently, I am running into java.lang.OutOfMemoryEr

Answer 1

I have faced same problem from java heap size.

I have two solutions if you are using java 5(1.5).

1. just install jdk1.6 and go to the preferences of eclipse and set the jre path of jav1 1.6 as you have installed.

2. Check your VM argument and let it be whatever it is. just add one line below of all the arguments present in VM arguments as -Xms512m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=...m(192m).

I think it will work...
