default jvm memory setting is too low

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi Sudeep,

default heap memory size set in the configuration file 
./etc/perl_on_netbeans.conf is too low to support many plugin update.

After a fresh install, you need to update "perl on netbeans" as the version of 
netbeans used is outdated.
Today 25 plugins need to be updated, one after the first run, and 24 after the 
second one.
The latter update results in an out of memory exception.
This was tested on Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS and windows 7, java 1.7, on computers 
equipped of 8GB of RAM and quad core cpus.

Increasing the xmx option should do the trick, but this is certainly not the 
only way to resolve this issue.

best regards

Eric

Hi Eric,

Thanks for pointing this out. I have observed this and preferred to keep it 
that way for sometime. Actually I still have users running on 2 gigs of RAM, 
this section of users is mostly the newbie who do not do updates to the IDE or 
any other plugin. Experienced users like yourself would absolutely like to 
customize it in every way required for themselves. Request you to increase the 
heap from the conf file. 

Its just something that we are helping the newbies with :) But of course I do 
have another workaround. May be I will try it and if it works, will share that 
in the next version and also in the user guide.

Hope you get me :)

As of the latest version of the IDE, it is available as a plugin. You can 
change the default JVM memory to your liking and this is not handled by the IDE 
anymore.

Closing the issue as the current version does not need to handle this situation.
