Adding More Memory to Protege 4

In Progress


Non-OS X Operating Systems

OS X

Editting the Info.plist

Navigate to the Protege 4 application in the finder and right click on the Protege 4 owl editor application. Select "Show Package Contents".

Show Package Contents

A new finder window will come up and in that window navigate to Contents and edit the Info.plist file in a text editor (alternatively you can use the os x plist editor by double-clicking if it is installed). Near the bottom of this file there are the lines

            <key>VMOptions</key>
            <array>
                <string>-Xms200M</string>
                <string>-Xmx200M</string>
                <string>-Dosgi.clean=true</string>
            </array>

Modify the -Xmx and (optionally) the -Xms lines to the desired amount of memory

            <key>VMOptions</key>
            <array>
                <string>-Xms800M</string>
                <string>-Xmx800M</string>
                <string>-Dosgi.clean=true</string>
            </array>
