How exactly are you setting this. Can you post all the messages
that are coming up? The limit on 32 Bit Virtual Machines is
ca. 1500 MB, so setting a higher value will be ignored or
refused.
It's not a limitation of the 32bit JVM but the OS. On my 32bit Linux desktop I
can set heap up to -Xmx2500m (this system has 1G RAM and 2G swap), on another
Linux system (64bit, but running the 32bit JVM) I can run java with -Xmx3600m
(that system has 32G RAM). The VM address limit for 32bit should be 4GB.
I haven't tried it on Solaris (the only Solaris system I have has nowhere near
that amount of VM), and the message the OP posted is rather strange - I've
never seen Java refer to memory in MEG before.
Please don't multipost. It's consuming bandwith and let people
get pissed.
Yes. It is very annoying if you have taken the time and effort to answer a post
in one NG, only to find that someone else has already posted pretty much the
same answer in another thread in an alternate NG.
Cross-post if you must, but don't multi-post.
