[Mesquitelist] Java Heap Space out of memory

[Kim van der Linde]

java is reserving relative small amount of memory (heap size), but you 
can increase it by using the following line:

"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.4.2_17\bin\java.exe" -Xms1024m -Xmx1024m 
mesquite.Mesquite

Depending on the version of java you are using, you can go up a bit 
more. If you have a 64-bit machine, you can go up substantially more.

I use the above line in my shortcut, with "Start in" line: "C:\Program 
Files\Mesquite"

Hope this helps.
