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

[Simon Cropper (Botanicus Australia Pty Ltd)]

Ben,

500M - gvSIG Opened OK
800M - gvSIG Opened OK
1000M - gvSIG Opened OK
1300M - gvSIG Opened OK
   - could open projects
1500M - gvSIG Opened OK
1501M - gvSIG Opened OK
1600M - gvSIG Opened OK
1700M - Error "Could not create Java machine"
1800M - Error "Could not create Java machine"
1600M - gvSIG Opened OK, plug-in services could not open
1500M - gvSIG Opened OK, plug-in services could not open
1300M - gvSIG Opened OK, could open project

I would imaging this would be dependent on your available memory (2GB on 
my system). I think I will set at 800M at present and see what happens 
as I usually have more than my email client open when running gvSIG.

Cheers Simon
