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

[Simon Cropper (Botanicus Australia Pty Ltd)]

Jorge,

My settings are command = #JAVA# 
-Djava.library.path="#GVSIG_INSTALL_PATH#\lib" -cp #CLASSPATH# -Xmx500M 
-Xss1024k com.iver.andami.Launcher gvSIG gvSIG/extensiones #ARGS#

What is the optimum setting for memory? I run a Windows XP SP3 2GB of 
memory.

Cheers Simon
