Caused by: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError

Hello,

An OutOfMemoryError at startup can be caused by one or more large files which were open when <oXygen/> was closed last time and are opened automatically at startup. The fix is to allow a larger maximum limit for the heap space of the Java virtual machine in the oxygenMac.sh script by changing the -Xmx parameter of the java command, for example from -Xmx256m to -Xmx512m or -Xmx768m, like this:
After a successful startup if you close the large files and then close <oXygen/>, you can revert to -Xmx256m.

Another fix is to rename or delete your <oXygen/> preferences directory so that the files are not opened automatically at startup, called com.oxygenxml and located in [user-home-dir]/Library/Preferences. This is more drastic because you will lose all your <oXygen/> preferences.

I'm trying to use very large files with Oxygen 7, and it is giving me java out of memorey errors.

I searched this forum and found this thread, but when I type in that code, I get
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: ro/sync/exml/Oxygen

OS 10.4.2

Hello,

The User Manual also describes how to increase the maximum memory allocated to <oXygen/> so that it can load very large files. When you edit oxygenMac.sh make sure you change only the value of the -Xmx parameter, for example from 256 MB to 512 MB. You should run oxygenMac.sh from [oXygen-install-folder].
