About Java and ChemicalCovers

ChemicalCovers needs Java 6 to run. But they are different version of Java 6.
We heavily recommend you to use Java 6 update 10. At the time of writing, Java 7 beta is already available, but we didn’t test ChemicalCovers with it. Hopefully, It should work fine.

How to write my own Search Engine for ChemicalCovers ?

How to prevent OutOfMemoryError ?

Version 0.2 or earlier:

If you start ChemicalCovers from the jar file with the command java -jar chemicalcovers-0.2.jar , An error occurs during a search with lot of results. To prevent this error, start chemicalcovers with this command :

shell>java -Xmx512m -jar chemicalcovers-0.2.jar

The parameter -Xmx allows much memory to the JVM. In this example, this allow 512M to the JVM

Since version 0.3, Chemical handle this for you ;-)
