I thought i'll put some contribution on this topic, When I was developing a netbeans platform application i also faced the same problem, I added run.args.extra=-J-Xmx768m and updated my project.properties file but it didn't ! But when i added run.args.extra=-J-Xmx768m in my platform.properties file then it worked, again this only works when i was in development environment. When I packeged the application for windows the problem remained same my min heap size was 24m and max is 64m. Then I found out that if I update and add default_options="--branding my_project -J-Xms64m -J-Xmx1G" in my_project.conf in my installed directory C:\Program Files\my_project\etc then run my application and checked the ide log i can now see the change. By the way i wasn't lucky enough to see even the run node when i right click and go to the project properties dialogue in netbeans 7.0.1. Its upto netbeans dream team to make us feel lucky.
