[SOLVED] Giving java applets more RAM

Hello all.

How do I allow java applets more memory? In Ubuntu there was an option in the menu to configure java, but it's missing on Arch.

Using Arch64, KDEmod, KDE 4.3, Firefox 3.5.

Re: [SOLVED] Giving java applets more RAM

I'm assuming you're using JRE/JDK:

You should have somewhere an entry called "Java Control Panel". Because I'm using Gnome I can't tell you where you find it in the KDE menu :-/
When you open the control panel goto "Java" -> click on "View" -> double-click on "Runtime Parameters" and add -XmxN where N is something like 128M, 256M, 512M .... or whatever you want. The manualpage of java describes it in the following way: (and better than I ;)
-Xmxn
Specify the maximum size, in bytes, of the memory allocation pool. This value must a multiple of 1024 greater than 2MB. Append the letter k or K to indicate kilobytes, or m or M to indicate megabytes. The default value is chosen at runtime based on system configuration.

If you don't find the "Java Control Panel" entry in your KDE menu try to execute /opt/java/bin/jcontrol from the shell (that's what started here by the entry). I hope this helps. :-)

Execute /opt/java/jre/bin/jcontrol.
