Increasing weka heap memory permanently on a Mac

[Yiren Lu]

I'm looking to increase the heap space *permanently*, because I am using
weka in my java code and I can't just launch weka.jar with extra memory. I
know this can be done in windows but can it be done on a mac? I've tried to
manually change VMOptions in the info.plist file but it doesn't seem to
work. Any ideas?

The Info.plist only affects the Weka Mac application. If you are writing
your own code then you will have to either make your own Mac application
(and adjust the VMOptions in its Info.plist) or launch your application
from the command line using the -Xmx option to set the heap size.
