Forests are disappearing so fast in Indonesia that, incredibly, this developing country ranks third in emissions behind industrial giants China and the U.S.

To change the VM memory settings from the default value of 256 MB, you should modify Info.plist found in:

/Applications/IntelliJ IDEA 8.1.4.app/Contents/Info.plist

You have to change the VMOptions at the end of the file:

<key>VMOptions</key>
<string>-Xms64m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Xbootclasspath/a:../lib/boot.jar -ea</string>
