Increasing the memory size of an Intellij Plugin

I'm developing an Intellij-Plugin. The Plugin needs to have 2GB of HeapMemory (... yes it really needs to ;) ). I found out how I can increase the Memory of the Intellij IDEA VM bis editing the idea64.exe.vmoptions-file like this:



-Xms128m
-Xmx2048m
-XX:MaxPermSize=350m
-XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=240m
-XX:+UseCodeCacheFlushing
-XX:+UseCompressedOops


If i enable the memory indicator, i can see that it worked.



But if i run/debug my plugin out of Intellij, the "sandbox"-Intellij has only 1GB of RAM.



It throws the flowing warning:




High memory usage (free 101 of 914 MB) while dumping threads




How can i increase the RAM of the sandbox-Plugin?

          Got it



          Just open the run configurations Run -> Edit Configurations



          and Change the VM Options to:



          -Xmx2024m -Xms512m -XX:MaxPermSize=500m -ea

            Setting VM Options in run configuration doesn't work for me.



            I found more proper way to do it from this. Add the following to your build.gradle:



            runIde {
            jvmArgs '-Xmx2G'
            }
