Note: you can prevent memory overrun by creating, and running BUBBL from, a DOS batch (Windows commad-line) or Linux shell script file containing the following command-line:
java -Xincgc -Xms200M -Xmx200M -jar <BUBBLxx.jar>
where:
The -Xingc parameter is to invoke an incremental garbage collector which prevents momentary 'freezes' associated with java vm garbage collection, but may not be necessary on newer vm's
<BUBBLxx.jar> is the path to the jar file you downloaded.
