For Java Web Start and the .sh and .bat files I think we have set 512M.

For .sh and .bat, there is no setting currently:

I think that the value should be approximately the amount of real memory in the machine running ArgoUML. 512M was a reasonable at the time it was set because developers used 512M or could upgrade their machines to. Nowadays 2G would probably be a more appropriate figure with this reasoning since most machines are sold with 2G but there are other scalability problems that I guess makes working with ArgoUML on large models unbearable. I am just not sure where the level is. If you want to change, I suggest you increase to 2G or 4G. This will allow users working with really big models without thinking about the memory problem.

I assume that a setting of -Xms2048m would not prevent ArgoUML from running on a machine with less memory, it would just result in a lot of paging to disc (assuming the disc space is available).

If this is OK, I'll make the change.
