I'm running GWT from within IntelliJ. (Plain GWT, IntelliJ v9). I'm able to run my application via my "GWT development mode" configuration, but when I try to run it through my "local tomcat" configuration, I get a bunch of incomprehensible error messages referring to Oracle and all sorts of weird stuff that I don't use, followed by this error which is sorted to the bottom of all the others:
Error: Out of memory; to increase the amount of memory, use the -Xmx flag at startup (java -Xmx128M ...)
I'm guessing that this error is the root cause.
According to my understanding, there is a GWT compilation step which runs in a JVM separate to both IntelliJ and tomcat, and so I'm unsure where to set the -Xmx parameter.
My question is: where do I find this -Xmx parameter? (And: am I on the right track, taking this error message at face value, or is it a symptom of deeper problems?)
You can configure the heap in the GWT facet settings:
