[Gvsig_english] POTENTIAL ERROR gvSIG 1.9 (BN 1253) -- Jave Heap Error while editing table

[Jorge Piera]

Hello Simon.

Hi.

You can run gvSIG using more memory. Just edit the gvSIG.sh (or the 
gvSIG.ini) file located in the installation directory (folder bin) and 
find the text "-Xmx500M". 500M is the number of MB that you want to use 
when you execute the Java Virtual Machine. You can change this number by 
the number of MB that you want and next time that you run gvSIG, it will 
use this number of MB./
/
Regards,
Jorge.
