I get a "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space" when running activator. I would like to set the heap to unlimited size. I read somewhere else that I need to change SBT_OPTS or _JAVA_OPTION somehow like this:
export SBT_OPTS="-Xmx2G -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled -XX:MaxPermSize=2G -Xss2M -Duser.timezone=GMT"
I could not find any documentation on this anywhere.
tl;dr activator -help
You can use JAVA_OPTS
(may affect other java programs), SBT_OPTS
(also affects sbt), ACTIVATOR_OPTS
(only affects activator) and there's also a -mem
flag you can use.
I think -J-Xmx512M
would also work.
