file. You can obtain a JNLP file with modified memory settings
from our service with the following link (replace 2G with
desired memory in G or M):<br /> <a

Alternatively, if you want to create your own JNLP file then
please download the latest JNLP file from <a
- href="http://www.jalview.org/webstart/jalview.jnlp"
- >http://www.jalview.org/webstart/jalview.jnlp</a> and modify the
- max-heap-size parameter for the j2se tag in the
+ href="http://www.jalview.org/webstart/jalview.jnlp">http://www.jalview.org/webstart/jalview.jnlp</a>
+ and modify the max-heap-size parameter for the j2se tag in the
<resources> element. e.g.
<pre>
<j2se version="1.7+" initial-heap-size="500M" max-heap-size="1000M"/>
The lines you need to change are in the <em>Info.plist</em>
file inside the <em>Jalview.app/Contents</em> directory
(which is where the installAnywhere installation was made) :
+
<pre>
<key&ht;VMOptions</key&ht;
! <string>-Xms2M</string>
! <string>-Xmx64M</string>
</array>
-</pre> Exchange the above two string tags for : <pre>

<string>-Xms500M</string>
<string>-Xmx1000M</string>

start, see below...</li>

+ <em>Please Note:</em> We do modify the default memory settings in

enlighten us if you know better!). Our experiments found 1000m to be
the biggest setting that could be used on a 1GB machine. Just try
reducing the sizes until Jalview starts up properly!</p>

+ We increased the default memory in Jalview 2.10.5 to 1G. To launch
