You mean once you have started running the app? You can't. It would
be like changing your tires while barrelling along the freeway.

I dont think this can prevent OutOfMemory Error. Setting limits on the
memory usage, will not allow JVM to access more memory, even when
available.
Or , I am mistaken. JVM takes some value by default, and you have to
tell it to use more memory.

Anyway, there is an option to use,

-Xms128m -Xmx256m

initial size is 128 MB, max limit is 256 MB
