Hi All,

What are the memory options (i.e. JVM command line arguments) for launching argouml? So far, I've used no memory arguments and never had it crash, but in fairness, I have not really stressed the application.

It is suggested that we need '-Xmx512m'.
- http://argouml.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=5078#desc4
- http://argouml.tigris.org/faqs/users.html#xmx

http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/tools/windows/java.html, implies that 'Xmx512m' sets the maximum size of the memory allocation pool to 512MB.

What is the official line on this...?
Should users do this for all argouml projects, or just 'large' ones?
Is there any harm in using or not using this option?
Is 512MB enough/too much (sounds like quite an arbitrary figure)?

If necessary, I will update the .bat, .sh, and windows launcher accordingly, none of which have this argument at present.

Regards,

Dave

P.S. I know about the proposal in issue 4957 http://argouml.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4957 to set the heap space based on the user properties file. I think we should start simple first though.
