How to fix java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space” error when running BC tester

When I upgraded from jdeveloper 11.1.1.4 to 11.1.1.7 I started getting


java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space when running the BC tester.

The BC tester is run by right clicking on an application module and selecting "Run" or "Debug"


To fix this,  right click on the Model project and select Project Properties.

Then select Run/Debug/Profile and edit Default Run Configuration

In the Java options box add

XX:MaxPermSize=512m -Xmx1000M

default size was  128m


This setting is only used when running the BC tester.   When you start up the application a similar setting in the ViewController Project is used.
