I'm using JMagick and have a simple Java class that loops over all images in a directory (and its sub directories), converting images into grayscale images.
After my application runs for a while the JVM crashes. I believe the error message in the log is possibly suggesting that there were memory issues:
Java frames: (J=compiled Java code, j=interpreted, Vv=VM code) j magick.MagickImage.writeImage(Lmagick/ImageInfo;)Z+0 j com.example.ImageGenerator.generateAlternativeImages(Ljava/io/File;Z)V+91 j com.example.ImageGenerator.main([Ljava/lang/String;)V+58 v ~StubRoutines::call_stub

I've tried adding -Xmx options but figure this might not be the solution. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Your JVM crashed, -Xmx will not help. Can you try running with -Xint and see if you can reproduce the problem? This will tell the JVM to run without Hotspot, which means no dynamic compilation optimizations. Which version of the JVM are you running with? If you can't reproduce the problem with -Xint, and you're using the latest JVM, you can try excluding only magick.MagickImage.writeImage from being compiled.
To exclude, create a file in the applications working directory called:
.hotspot_compiler
and add the line :
exclude magick/MagickImage writeImage
