NetBeans 6 - Out of Memory Exception

Lately, I have been getting Out of Memory Exception every time NetBeans load up. This is the exception message, "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space". I am using the daily build of the custom ide for Ruby development.

I fixed the problem by setting the max heap size to a 512 MB. This is how I start the ide.

nbrubyide.exe -J-Xmx512m

UPDATE: I just found out that I can set the max heap size in the nbrubyide.conf file. It is in the etc directory under c:\nbrubyide
I modified it to

default_options="-J-Xms24m -J-Xmx256m"
