You can set the memory size in IDEA by following these steps:

  1. Open IDEA and select the project for which you want to modify the memory size.
  2. Click on the “Run” option in the top menu bar.
  3. Select the “Edit Configurations” option from the dropdown menu.
  4. In the pop-up dialog box, select the configuration to modify the memory size.
  5. Enter the following parameters in the “VM options” text box on the right side to set the memory size:
  6. -Xms: specifies the initial heap size
    -Xmx: specifies the maximum heap size
  7. Numbers can be expressed in units of MB or GB. For example, you can use “-Xms512m -Xmx1024m” to set the initial heap size to 512MB and the maximum heap size to 1GB.
  8. Click on the “Apply” button to save the changes and close the dialog box.
  9. Rerun the project to apply the changes.

Please note that adjusting the memory size may impact the performance and stability of the project. Be sure to adjust the memory size according to the project’s requirements and the computer’s hardware resources.
