Is there any way to increase the amount of heap memory available to the
JVM? I'm getting some OutOfMemoryErrors that I'd like to avoid.

Thanks.

the maximum heap size which you can play is 1.5GB.
try to set this heap amount to your preferable size as follow:
-Xmx<your_heap_size>m

On many Windows systems the maximum is rather lower than this, some
times even less than 1GB. It depends on the location system DLLs which
fragment the available address space. The heap requires contiguous
address space.
