Oxygen XML Forum

I am trying to get the editor v16 to run on my windows 7 64bit box.
I have 64GB of RAM and over 70% is free.
I tried to edit the .vmoptions and change it a lower and higher number for -Xmx (it is currently at 1024m)
Every time I try to run I get ..

Error.. the JVM could not be started. The maximum heap size (-Xms) might be too larger or an antivirus or firewall tool could block the execution.

I just did a reboot, disabled the anti virus and firewall.
I also tried to install the latest java.

Right now windows shows I have these java versions installed:

Java 7 Update 75
Java 7 Update 75 (64-bit)
Java 8 Update 40 <--- did this one today
Java SE Development Kit 7 Update 75
Java SE Development Kit 7 Update 75 (64-bit)

I need to look at large .xml files (2GB +) and need to get your tool running.. any suggestions?

Hi,

Since you mentioned you have a 64-bit OS, please download and install the 64 bit edition of Oxygen (configured by default to use 1500MB of memory).
From the problem you are describing, you seem to be using the 32 bit edition right now, which has restrictive memory limitations (32-bit process limitations + Java limitations).

2GB .xml files should be opened in "huge" file mode, which does not actually load the entire file in memory. This means it should work with the default memory (at least for the 64-bit edition). If you need/want to configure it to use more memory, we recommend using less than half of the system memory.

The Windows installation of Oxygen bundles its own Java runtime, so the system installed Java runtime is not being used.
