Can't run JDev with -Xmx2048M: Unable to create JVM instance

ILya CycloneOct 3 2013 — edited Oct 4 2013

Hello.

I'm currently on 16Gb RAM machine, using JDeveloper 11.1.2.3 with own jdk160_24. I need to run JDev with some large heap size, say 2Gb.

For this I add "AddVMOption -Xmx2048M" to jdeveloper\jdev\bin\jdev.conf but after doing so JDev don't start showing the following error message:

---------------------------

Oracle JDeveloper 11g

---------------------------

Unable to create an instance of the Java Virtual Machine

Located at path:

d:\JDeveloper-11.1.2.3\jdk160_24\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll

---------------------------

ОК

---------------------------

With some tries found out that my maximum is -Xmx1024M.

Where does this restriction come from?

Thanks.

I'm on Windows 7.
