Hi UIMA people, Here is the change I made to get UIMA Applications to work under my Microsoft VISTA. It turned out to be very simple.
I found that VISTA crashed the Java VM if it did not have enough heap space memory. I suspect that this is due to a process not checking to see if memory was available. To change this all I had to do was run the following: In the file UIMA_HOME/bin/setUimaClassPath.bat change the following line: from @if "%UIMA_JVM_OPTS%"=="" set UIMA_JVM_OPTS=-Xms128M -Xmx*800M* to @if "%UIMA_JVM_OPTS%"=="" set UIMA_JVM_OPTS=-Xms128M -Xmx*1600M * I think that this changes the amount of heap available to *be 1.6GB* not just* .8GM. *We have also been trying to recompile all the sources under VISTA. We have changed the VM parameter in the uimaj-core pom file at: /project/build/plugins/plugin/configuration/argLine from Xmx*800*M to be Xmx*1600*M Special thanks to Loren Cahlander for helping me figure this out.* *We found this by noting that the tests did have Java heap space errors. We are still working on trying to get all the tests to run on VISTA. - Dan* * -- Dan McCreary Senior Enterprise Data Architecture and Strategy Consulting (952) 931-9198 cell: (612) 986-1552 [email protected] http://www.danmccreary.com
