[Jamvm-general] Revisited: "LocaleInformation not found": solution is -Xmx

[Dana M. <k6...@co...>]

I recently was running JamVM 2.0 + classpath 0.99 under
OpenWRT latest on a Raspberry Pi 2 B. I kept running into
the problem described in this thread:

https://sourceforge.net/p/jamvm/mailman/message/1870684/

I eventually had a crazy idea and expanded the maximum heap
size with -Xmx128M and the problem went away. At some point I'll
binary-search for what the required heap size really is; but the
issue was while loading glibj.zip, many strings are allocated for
the entire jar/zipfile before even looking one entry up.

I suggest trying this if you run into this issue.

BTW, I am happy to report that JamVM and Classpath work
well in OpenWRT 15.x and later; I maintain the package
makefiles for them.

Cheers,
