Out of memory in PlayFramework 2.0

Question

How do I increase the memory available to the Play environment? I am running out of memory after a time while running tests.

In particular, I get this error:

Answer 1

The Java startup options for play are founder in the script:

$PLAY_HOME/framework/build

The PermGen space can be increased by modifying the line at the bottom of the file:

java ${DEBUG_PARAM} -Xms512M -Xmx1536M -Xss1M -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled -XX:MaxPermSize=384M ...

Set the MaxPermSize variable to an appropriate value.
