Need to give the JVM more memory to prevent OutOfMemoryError at runtime

[clivemeister]

I was diff'ing a 2000 line, 25 column spreadsheet and and got:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

I fixed it by altering the excel_cmp.bat file to give the java virtual machine more memory by adding -Xmx1024m to the options passed to the java command:
java -ea -Xmx1024m -cp "%dirname%\dist\*;" com.ka.spreadsheet.diff.SpreadSheetDiffer %*

Can I suggest this is rolled into your next update to cover this problem for others?

Current version of ExcelCompare has removed the memory limit. Which version are you using?

Thanks - I downloaded ExcelCompare-0.6.1.zip today, and that's the version I was having this problem with.

If it's relevant, here's what I got from java -version:
java version "1.8.0_171"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_171-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 25.171-b11, mixed mode, sharing)
