"VMOptions" not in my Info.plist Mac OS X Yosemite. What now?

Question

Beginner with yEd. Tried importing an Excel File and ran out of memory.

 

Will try the "java -Xmx768m -jar yed.jar" Option

Answer 1

The current yEd versions come bundled with Java 7 or Java 8. For these versions of Java it should no longer be necessary to explicitly specify the maximum amount of available memory. (Java 7 and Java 8 do come with auto-detection for available memory.)

If that does not work for you for some reason, you can try adding the following lines to your Info.plist file:

  <key>JVMOptions</key>
  <array>
    <string>-Xmx768m</string>
  </array>
  <key>VMOptions</key>
  <array>
    <string>-Xmx768m</string>
  </array>

right before the final occurrence of

</dict>
