Why do I get java.lang.OutOfMemoryError and how do I handle it?

I am developing a standalone application (swings and jdbc) which has extensive interaction with MS Access database. After a few iterations the systems gives OutOfMemory Error and stops. I understand that it is due to JVM unable to provide enough memory space to create more objects.. Could someone let me know as to how I need to handle this?

thanks
