[jdom-interest] Java heap space error, please help.

[Jason Hunter]

What do you mean that you increased virtual memory?  In Java the best 
thing to do is increase the heap size.

java -Xms128m -Xmx512m Foo

Maybe you have more than 512M to throw at the problem.  If that doesn't 
work, then you can change your code to write elements at a time and let 
them GC so you won't run out of memory.  You just need to do a little 
manual work for the root element wrapper.
