Hello, if you want to increase heap size in java then you will able to get the solution for your problem by the use of the following runtime parameters:

java -Xms<initial heap size> -Xmx<maximum heap size>

I am not sure, but if you make use of the default value then it is as below:

java -Xms32m -Xmx128m

If you want to set it, then you can simply use the Java Control Panel. Or it can be possible that you can simply make use of the command prompt you can simply run this command.
