Information about using the Sun Java Plug-in
with Browntech Image Viewer

(Updated March, 2007)
If you are using the
Sun Java Plug-in
for your browser's Java Runtime, and have not already done so,
please do the following steps to allow applets with greater than 64MB of
memory requirements to run properly:
- Normally, you should first, shut down (exit) your browser(s).
- Then run the "Java(TM) Plugin Control Panel"
- On a Mac: Use "Finder" to get to: Applications -> Utilities -> Java
and then, run the Java Plugin 1.4.x Setup or whatever version you have.
- On a Windows machine, Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Java
- On Linux, locate the shell script ControlPanel in the Java install's bin/
directory and run it.
- For Java versions before 1.5, click on "Advanced" (or, on a Mac, the "General" tab), and in the space provided under
"Java Runtime Parameters", please type the following (exactly as shown):
-Xmx256m
Then click "Apply" button (or "Apply Now" on a Mac).
- For Java versions 1.5 and above, first click the "Java" tab on the Control Panel, and then under the "Java
Applet Runtime Settings" pane, click the "View..." button. In the space provided under "Java Runtime Parameters",
please type the following (exactly as shown):
-Xmx256m
Then click "OK", and then back in the Java Control Panel, click the "Apply" button.
These steps will allow your browser that uses the Plugin to run Java to use up to 256MB of
memory. You can change the number 256 to a different value if needed -- this should be
less than the total amount of memory your machine has.
You may need to do this every time you update the Java Plugin, as well.
