Question

I am trying to execute this program using fork and join framework. When I feed a JPEG image of smaller size to this program it works fine, but when I give the image of size more than 4 MB it throws below exception:

****Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
    at ForkBlur.blur(ForkBlur.java:120)
    at ForkBlur.main(ForkBlur.java:110)****

I am using eclipse Helios IDE.

I want it to work for larger images of size more than 50 MB

It worked fine for me .

Right click on project which you want to run . Run As -> Run configuration ->Arguments .

Then in VM arguments:

-Xmx1g
