Hi,

I am spawing a new Thread in my application, which runs as an
background process. I am looking to set -Xmx512mb memory to this new
Thread programatically. How do i do it.
thanks

Threads share memory, so you can't.

You're mixing metaphores here. It sounds like you want a Process
instead of a Thread. Threads don't run as background processes, they
run within a process. Processes have their own memory while threads
share a heap.

java.lang.Runtime has several exec() methods to create processes.
