Mikhail: Would this help http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6878883/how-do-i-determine-maxdirectmemorysize-on-a-running-jvm?
I tried to set XX:MaxDirectMemorySize According to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3773775/default-for-xxmaxdirectmemorysize, the default is 64 MB. But even if I set XX:MaxDirectMemorySize=64m, I got the following on MacBook: Error occurred during initialization of VM Could not reserve enough space for object heap Could not create the Java virtual machine. So some expert advice is needed :-) On Fri, Feb 10, 2012 at 1:06 PM, Mikhail Bautin < bautin.mailing.li...@gmail.com> wrote: > @Ted: thanks for the suggestion. > > Maybe I should have worded my question differently.
