Error java lang OutOfMemoryError Java heap space

0 votes

I am writing a client-side Swing application (graphical font designer) on Java 5. Recently, I am running into java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space error because I am not being conservative on memory usage. 

Given this situation, how should I deal with this constraint?

Hii,

Possible causes:

  1. Simple configuration issue, where the specified heap size is insufficient for the application.

  2. Application is unintentionally holding references to objects, and this prevents the objects from being garbage collected.

  3. Excessive use of finalizers.

One other potential source of this error arises with applications that make excessive use of finalizers. If a class has a finalize method, then objects of that type do not have their space reclaimed at garbage collection time

After garbage collection, the objects are queued for finalization, which occurs at a later time. finalizers are executed by a daemon thread that services the finalization queue. If the finalizer thread cannot keep up with the finalization queue, then the Java heap could fill up and this type of OutOfMemoryError exception would be thrown.
