much thanks, very helpful!

however, i agree with David Jameson that it would be awesome if you also had a text summary…sometimes i forget my headphones, and playing videos in a very confined cube zone at work is annoying for everyone.

Wow!!! I’ve been looking for this for a WHILE… thanks! everybody tells you to increase it on the eclipse.ini, but that didn’t help… thanks for explaining where to increase it to directly affect the program.

Thanks a lot. this really helped. I’m kind of a newb when it comes to java, Do you know how it works if i send this as a .jar to a friend, will he have to up his heap size too? or will the JVM do that for him automatically for .jars?

Dear Brooks
I dont usually comment in forums, but the solution I was looking for many days is only given by you, not even on very technical sites. I couldnt stop myself to comment on it.
Hats off for you.

Thanks

Dear Brooks,
This was awesome. You are crystal clear about the process and this is a helpful movie. My problem is the VM argument in my eclipse is not active. It is empty and I can not change it.
Any idea?

Thanks

I couldn’t get your screencast to play (on my Mac under Firefox) — I wish you had posted a textual explanation of what to do!

Thank you so much! This problem has been plaguing me all year as I’m often loading very large corpora, and everyone I’ve asked about this has directed me to the eclipse.ini file…very frustrating! Had I just found this first I could have saved myself 80+ hours of workarounds and aimless searching…
