To adjust the project’s memory size in IDEA, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open IDEA and load the project that you want to adjust the memory size for.
  2. Click on the “Run” option in the top menu bar.
  3. Select “Edit Configurations” in the dropdown menu.
  4. In the pop-up window, locate the project configuration you want to edit and click on the “VM options” (virtual machine options) on the left.
  5. Enter the following parameters in the “VM options” text box to set the memory size of the startup project:
  6. -Xms: Specify the initial memory size of the Java virtual machine.
    -Xmx: Specify the maximum memory size of the Java virtual machine.
  7. For example, you can input “-Xms512m -Xmx1024m” to set the initial memory size to 512MB and the maximum memory size to 1024MB.
  8. Click on “Apply” and “OK” to save the changes.
  9. Click on the “Run” option in the top menu bar and select “Run ‘Your_Project_Name'” to start the project and apply the new memory settings.

By following the above steps, you can set the memory size for launching your project in IDEA. Please note that adjusting the memory size may impact the performance and stability of the project, so it is important to set the memory size appropriately based on the project’s needs and system resources.
