Exception in thread
I have developed a gallery programme which was working nicely with a few pictures i had but now that i have increased the number of pictures i recieve an exception, Exception in thread "Image Fetcher 1" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space. How do i go about it.
The programme depends on an array with the ImageIcon return type like this:
private ImageIcon images[]={
new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("media/campus.png")),
new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("media/school.png")),
.......
}
The images in the array are about 60.
The entire exception is:
Exception in thread "Image Fetcher 1" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
