| 100 | | If you for example have experienced the "Out of memory" warning (e.g. trying to load geo-tagged photos to JOSM) you would start JOSM like this: |
| 101 | | {{{ |
| 102 | | #!sh |
| 103 | | java -Xmx512M -jar FOLDER/josm-latest.jar |
| 104 | | }}} |
| 105 | | |
| 106 | | This would allow JOSM to use up to 512 MB of RAM (memory). The java option "-Xmx512M" set's the maximum Java heap size to 512 MB. You are free to replace -Xmx512M by any number appropriate for your system (e.g. -Xmx2048M or even more). |
| 107 | | |
| 108 | | By the way. To get an overview of all Java start options you can type in: |
| 109 | | {{{ |
| 110 | | #!sh |
| 111 | | java -help |
| 112 | | }}} |
| 113 | | |
| 114 | | 4. If you are using the Mac OS X Package and want to alter a startup parameter permanently, then you will need to alter the Info.plist file within the /Applications/JOSM.app/Contents directory. For example, to increase the maximum Java heap size from 512MB to 2048MB, either using the terminal or XCode, in the JVMOptions key alter the entry ''-Xmx512m'' to ''-Xmx2048m''. |
