It it's netbeans that is short of memory then edit netbeans\\etc\\netbeans.conf and add/edit to the property netbeans_ default_options something like:

-J-Xms128m -J-Xmx128m -J-XX:PermSize=64m -J-XX:MaxPermSize=128m

If it's your servlet container (tomcat) that is short of memory after many redeployments then right click on tomcat > properties > platform > vm options:

-Xms128m -Xmx128m -XX:PermSize=64m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m

Feel free to experiment with the numbers. The above are semi-random.
