I'm not sure what's causing this. What OS are you using? Are you within cygwin? Are you passing any memory arguments to java? Kepler uses a max of 512m by default. When starting in a suite utilizing the provenance module, max is adjusted to 768m. You can try adjusting max in build-area/settings/memory.xml. If Kepler hasn't already created this file for you, you can:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?> <!DOCTYPE properties SYSTEM "http://java.sun.com/dtd/properties.dtd";> <properties> <comment>Default Memory Properties</comment> <entry key="max">512m</entry> <entry key="min">5m</entry> </properties> You could also try passing JVM memory options (e.g. -Xmx) by editing and then launching using kepler.sh, which is created with ant make-startup-scripts. I haven't had to do any of this in Windows XP. Let us know what you find out. Derik On Dec 21, 2011, at 12:16 PM, Jonathan Boright wrote: > All, > I'm having trouble running Kepler on my laptop...
