1)Try to exit all remaining programs ... 2)You can checkout the free memory using Runtime Class.
I thought JVMs usually start up with a set amount of memory reserved, so as long as on JVM start up you have enough memory, opening a million other programs later on would not cause a Java out of memory error. Am I wrong?
How you can set the heap size is described in the documentation. Use the -Xmx... option to set the maximum amount of memory that the JVM will allocate.
But really, instead of just setting the heap size larger, you should have a look at your code and find out why you are getting an OutOfMemoryError. Does your program really need to allocate so much memory or do you have a bug somewhere in your code?
