[kepler-users] Trouble with VM when starting Kepler

[Jonathan Boright]

All,
I'm having trouble running Kepler on my laptop... I have installed and run
Kepler on this machine in the past (the last time was probably a year ago)
but have recently done an update... Now, when I try to run it (ant run) I
get the following message:

...
run:
      [run] JVM Memory = 5m 512m
      [run] Set environment variable: PATH =
C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin;C:\cygwin\bin;C:\cygwin\bin;[...long path list
here...]
      [run] Set environment variable: R_HOME = C:\Program Files\R\R-2.10.1
      [run] Error occurred during initialization of VM
      [run] Too small initial heap for new size specified

BUILD FAILED
C:\kepler\svn\build-area\build.xml:52: Java returned: 1

...which looks to me like a JMV memory error (not that I know much about
them...). In prior versions of Kepler we were able to set the max memory
allotment before opening up Kepler itself, but now there is a tool on the
user-interface to do this... which doesn't do much good if you can't get to
the interface.

Any thoughts on:
1, Why the default memory allotment is insufficient to start Kepler?, and/or
2, How can I allot more memory to Kepler prior to opening it up?

Thanks!

Jon
