[OSM-newbies] JOSM memory

[Jeffrey Martin]

This seems to work:

Target:  "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_07\bin\java.exe" -jar -Xms1G
-Xmx1G josm-latest.jar
Start In: "C:\Program Files\JOSM"

I tried capital G and little g but the issue seems to be the amount of
memory. Changing it
to -Xms2G -Xmx2G doesn't work.

This also seems to work:
Target: "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_07\bin\java.exe" -jar -Xms1g
-Xmx1g "C:\Program Files\JOSM\josm-latest.jar"

Start In: "C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop"

I can't seem to cut and paste into command now although I could
earlier and it seems
that quotes are handled differently in the command prompt. I'm not
even sure if command
can do long file names.

Is there a way to run the shortcut so the window gives you some
debugging information?
