[Mesquitelist] Java Heap Space out of memory

[Buz Wilson]

I had thought about increasing the heap size as a work-around - thanks
for the suggestion. My point, which I didn't describe clearly
(sorry...), was that I had been doing the same thing (filling cells with
a particular character state using the bucket tool) in the previous
version (2.0), and did not have this heap memory error & crash, using
the same data and the same startup defaults. I am also using the same
JRE installation. I'm building a large matrix, so not being able to use
the bucket tool seems somewhat retrogressive.  So something seems to
have changed in the current Mesquite version that causes the problem --
or  maybe it was just because I was doing this on Monday...

best wishes

Buz

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"
