memory settings on windows

[r.rohan]

I am running a java program on my local machine which uses some IO
funtions. The program throws a outofmemory error. My machine has 1 GB
of ram and I can see that the memory usage is at 600M all the time the
application is running. So there is plenty of memory avilable. How do I
give more memory to my application?

Use JConsole (which comes with Sun's JDK) to determine what *kind* of
memory you're running out of:

on what kind (heap, permgen, etc.), different solutions exists.
