G'day Andre,
I'm not sure how JabRef is launched on a Mac (Does it come with a
wrapper script which executes the .jar file? or do you run the .jar file
yourself?)
At any rate, this page gives the syntax for setting the heaps size when
you run a Java app (http://hausheer.osola.com/docs/5).
Apologies, I tried to find a more official webpage, but this kept coming
up as the first hit on google.
java -Xms<initial heap size> -Xmx<maximum heap size> -jar jabref.jar
e.g.
java -Xms128m -Xmx1028m -jar jabref.jar
You can probably just put that in some sort of wrapper script, so you
can run ./jabref.sh instead.
Hope that helps.
cheers,
pete.

Dear jabref users,
I am running JabRef 2.6 under Windows XP and Mac OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger).
Bibtex databases work fine in both computers with up to 14,000 entries
(approximately 185,000 lines). However, I am now working on a project
that requires more than 20,000 entries (approximately 280,000 lines).
The database for this project opens fine in the machine running
Windows XP, but under Mac OS X 10.4.11, JabRef seems to run out of
memory. The error issued reads:
Cannot launch Java application
Uncaught exception in main method:
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
How can I solve this problem? Would it be possible to increase the
amount of memory allocated to JabRef under Mac OS X 10.4.11?
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Best,
André
