Creating Jar Files Programatically - OutOfMemoryError

Hi,

I know how to create a jar file within Jar, but I am having a memory issue.

I tried to create a jar by adding 500mb worth of files.

I got a OutOfMemoryError. My program works fine with less files.

I realise there is a physical limit on memory, but how can I calculate the number of bytes I can safely include in a jar file, to allow me to create multiple jar's without reaching the limit?

Thanks

Mike
