The default max heap is 64MB, so the first thing I'd try is simply raising that. By supplying -Xmx128m, on the commandline when you launch your program, you'll double the limit. There are tools to watch the heap and I recommend that everyone who is doing a lot with memory make use of them. Things like JProbe and OptimizeIt are profiling tools, but something free and simple like the heap monitor from Sun (cool tools)... I'm trying to find the URL... Anyway, it can help give you a picture of what is happening with the various heap spaces (yes, there are more than 1). Well, I'm having problems finding it. Perhaps someone from Sun can chime in.
