<h2>
The way you increase the memory settings for the JVM depends on which installation
of Jalview you use:</p>
<ul>
- <li><em><font size="3">Web Start Version</font></em>
- <p>JavaWS sets the JVM parameters through special tags in the JNLP file. You'll
- need to <a href="jalviewjnlp.html">make your own jnlp file</a> and add the following parameter into the
- <resources> element.
- <pre>
-<j2se version="1.5+" initial-heap-size="500M" max-heap-size="1000M"/>
-</pre>
- Save the jnlp file somewhere and then - if you start Jalview through your
- web browser, point your browser at the file's url, othewise simply run javaws
- with the file location as its argument. The file's url is something like :<br>
- <pre>
+ <li><em><font size="3">Web Start Version</font></em>
+ <p>
+ JavaWS sets the JVM parameters through special tags in the JNLP
+ 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
+ href="http://www.jalview.org/services/launchApp?jvm-max-heap=2G">http://www.jalview.org/services/launchApp?jvm-max-heap=2G</a>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ 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
+ <resources> element. e.g.
+ <pre>
+<j2se version="1.7+" initial-heap-size="500M" max-heap-size="1000M"/>
+</pre> In both cases, you should save your new jnlp file somewhere and
+ then either point your web browser at the file's url, launch it from
+ your file browser, or from a terminal window run javaws (located in
+ your Java installation's bin directory) with the file location as its
+ argument. The file's url is something like :<br> <pre>
file://<full path to file>

- If jalview doesn't start up, see <a href="#memsetting">below</a>. You'll have
- to edit the above settings in the JNLP file using a text editor, save it,
- and try starting Jalview with it once more.
- <p></li>
- <li><em><font size="3">Install Anywhere version</font></em>
+</pre> If jalview doesn't start up, see <a href="#memsetting">below</a>.
+ You'll have to edit the above settings in the JNLP file using a text
+ editor, save it, and try starting Jalview with it once more.
+ </p></li>
+ <li><em><font size="3">Install Anywhere version</font></em>
<p> You need to change the InstallAnywhere configuration settings for the
application. These are found in different places depending upon which operating
system you have :
