BufferedImage problem

I am making image viewer application where images are loaded to memory using BufferedImage with the following code:

Code:

---

BufferedImage image;
InputStream input = new FileInputStream(path);
image = ImageIO.read(input);

---

Application is made so it loads lots of images, with increased heap space up to 1GB. When runned using netbeans it works fine, loading all images it should without any problem. Using jar file it loads untill it uses about 300 mb of RAM and then it stops. I've check where the problem is, after it gets to that point it just wont create new image. I've tried with more than one set of images so image path should not be the problem i'm looking for.

I have no idea what may be causing your problem, sorry. :(-:

Have you considered using a profiler to see what is happening to your program's memory structure while its running?

I have. Like I said, no problems at all when using netbeans. Next thing i have tried was writing to .txt when running jar file to check where the code stops, and it is exactly at :

Code:

---

image = ImageIO.read(input);

---

One very weird thing about this is also that when i interact with the program memory usage increases when it shouldn't, so thats how i'm sure it is not about heap space. This does not happen when runned using netbeans.

Looks like i only increased heap size for the version I run from netbeans, while compiled version is still on default size.
Can someone please tell me how to increase heap size for the compiled version since i can't find a way to do it in netbeans 7.1.2 :(
project properties->Run-> VM options only affects netbeans runned version as i see it

Launch the jar from a batch file (Windows) or shell script (Linux / MacOS) and supply the -Xmx flag on the command line.

Lord, and I had assumed that you were already doing this. My bad!
