[xep-support] Java memory settings - to fix "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError"

[Alexander Peshkov]

Hello Peter,

You have to add -Xmx parameter into c:\xep\xep.bat file. Based on the
configuration you mention I think setting maximum Java heap size to
something about 420Mb will be reasonable. If you look inside of
xep.bat you will see something like:

  "C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_06\bin\java" -classpath "%CP%" com.renderx.xep.XSLDriver ....

you just have to add -Xmx420M after Java call like this:

  "C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_06\bin\java" -Xmx420M -classpath "%CP%" com.renderx.xep.XSLDriver ....

Best regards,
Alexander Peshkov                             mailto:peshkov at renderx.com

PD> I document that I have been converting with XEP has just started to
PD> cause problems during the conversion.  It fails with the message
PD> "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError.

PD> Based on the posting in
PD> http://www.renderx.net/lists/xep-support/2251.html I guess that the
PD> document just outgrew the limitations.

PD> I don't know how to control the Java memory settings.  Where do I add
PD> the parameter (-Xmx256M)?

PD> I use Windows XP with XEP desktop.  I start the XEP conversion by giving
PD> this command on a Cygwin command line "/cygdrive/c/xep/xep.bat -fo
PD> pdf/epedigree-enterprise-guide.fo -ps".

PD> Thanks for your help.
