Inrease heap memory allocation for java application

Question

Running java application in IntelliJ and profiler shows heap memory full. Is there a way to increase heap memory allocation? IntelliJ profiler

I tried alreadyhttps://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/increasing-memory-heap.html . However my default was 2G but changing to 16g profiler shows the same.

Answer 1

It didn't help because you changed heap memory allocation for IntelliJ, not for your application. If you want to increase memory for application, add following VM option to your application configuration:

-Xmx16g
