Leif's commit today changed the -Xmx setting. It used to be -Xmx512m, which is sufficient for a normal build. Only running the test suite will need more. We should set this back to 512. Due to the limitations of .bat files, editing build.bat is the only way to set -Xmx right now. Well, I could extend the new launcher to be also used for building, so the settings in vm.properties would apply. Maybe we should do that.

No. This was really just a mistake I think. The recommended minimum for running eXist is still 512m, though this does not give much room for larger data sets. In 2.0, the installer will thus ask for a max memory setting.
