Hi Tom,

You need to allocate more memory to Java, as indicated at the bottom of your
message:

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded

I copy this to our developer list (which you should also subscribe to).

You should create an environment variable with the name JAVA_OPTS. Right
click on My Computer, select Properties, and then the Advanced tab. Then
Environment Variables and New.

The content of it could be like the following, or the figures could be even
higher if you have a lot of RAM:

-Xmx768m -Xms768m -XX:PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=768m
