"Could not create the Java virtual
machine" is a general JavaVirtual Machine error when you run java command
directly or indirectly and it's not able to create a virtual machine because of
invalid maximum heap size, invalid minimum heap size, or just an error in
command line. This error not only come when you run
Java program from the command line but also when you run them using any IDE
like Eclipse
or Netbeans.
Top 5 Java Performance Courses for Experienced Developers in 2025 - Best of Lot
Hello guys, if you have been doing Java development for few years, then you know that Performance is the key for any Java application. As a senior Java developer, one should know how to improve the performance of Java applications and understand memory management and garbage collection, which often causes Performance in Java applications. These are some advanced skills that take some effort to develop. It doesn't come by default even if you have been programming in Java for years, as most people don't touch these topics. Many of them are afraid or take the performance tuning work and always look up to the most senior or brilliant developers in their team.
How to fix java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: unable to create new native thread [Solution]
There are several types of OutOfMemoryError in Java e.g. OutOfMemoryError related to Java heap space and permgen space, and a new one coming in Java 8, Java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Metaspace. Each and every OutOfMemoryError has its own unique reason and corresponding unique solution. For example, java.langOutOfMemoryError: Java Heap Space comes when the application has exhausted all heap memory and tries to create an object which requires further memory allocation, At that time JVM throws this error to tell the application that it's not possible to create an object.
Top 6 books to learn Java Virtual Machine, Garbage Collection, and Performance [UPDATED]
In the last couple of years, I have seen a trend of many Java developers wants to learn more and more about JVM internals and how Java Virtual Machine and its different component works. This trend was not so strong in the last decade, but with more and more focus on concurrency, performance, and scalability, Java developer is exploring JVM internals, Garbage collection, and Performance tuning in more detail. Unfortunately, there are not many good books to learn about JVM internals and their different components, but fortunately, we have an excellent Java Virtual Machine specification to learn fundamentals. It is also the most up-to-date reference because Java and JVM are kept changing, especially after Java 10.
Difference between JIT and JVM in Java? Answered
The main difference between JIT and JVM is that JIT is part of JVM itself and its main function is to improve the performance of JVM by directly compiling some hot code (code that executes above a certain threshold) into native instruction. JIT stands for Just In time compilation and JVM stands for Java Virtual Machine. JVM is a virtual machine used in Java programming platforms to execute or run Java programs. The main advantage of JVM is that JVM makes Java platform-independent by executing bytecodes. Java source code is compiled into class files, which contain bytecode.
Difference between 32-bit vs 64-bit JVM in Java?
Hello Java Programmers, if you want to learn Java virtual Machine in-depth and wondering what is the difference between a 32-bit and 64-bit JVM and which one should you use and why? then you have come to the right place. Earlier, I have shared the best JVM books and online JVM courses and in this article, I am going to talk about 32-bit vs 64-bit JVM and their pros and cons. This is also a common Java interview question for beginners and intermediate Java programmers. I have tried to answer this question to the point that's why this article is a short but informative one. You will find out what they are, how they are different, how much heap size, and the pros and cons of each of them.
How to Fix java.lang.OufOfMemoryError: Direct Buffer Memory
Java allows an application to access non-heap memory by using a direct byte buffer. Many high-performance applications use a direct byte buffer, along with a memory-mapped file for high-speed IO. And, while the ByteBuffer object is small itself, it can hold a large chunk of non-heap memory, which is outside of the Garbage collection scope. This means the garbage collectors can not reclaim this memory. It is often used to store large data like order or static data cache. Since generally, your program allocates the large buffer e.g. size of 1GB or 2GB, you get "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Direct buffer memory" error, when you try to allocate memory by running the following code
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space : Cause and Solution
So you are getting java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space and run out of ideas on what to do, especially if you are a user of any Java application and not the programmer or developer, this could be a tricky situation to be in. I receive lots of emails from Minecraft user ( a popular Java game), along with junior developers who are using Tomcat, Jetty, Untow, JBoss, WebSphere, Android user, who uses Android apps and several other Swing-based Java desktop application user complaining about java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space in their Mobile or Laptop.
Difference between Heap and Stack Memory in Java? [Explained]
One of the many traits of a good programmer is how well he understands the fundamentals and if you want to check the fundamentals of a Java programmer then asking the difference between heap and stack memory is a good choice. Even though both are part of JVM and both consumer's memory allocated to the Java process, there are many differences between them like Heap memory is shared by all threads of Java application but Stack memory is local to each thread. Objects are created in heap memory but method frames are stored in Stack memory, and the size of heap space is much bigger than the small size of Stack in Java.
10 Essential JVM Options for Production Java Applications
Hello guys, this is a brief guide of appropriate JVM options, which you will often see in production Java systems. As a Java developer, you should know what these JVM options mean, their importance, and how they affect your application. You will find that most of the JVM options are related to heap memory, garbage collection and to log some details, like heap dump, necessary for troubleshooting heap-related issues like a memory leak or excessive memory consumption. It's Ok if you don't know these Java virtual machine options yet, but you should be familiar with them, and that's the objective of this article. Btw, how do you find the JVM options your application is using? Well, you can see the startup scripts through which your application is started.
How to Increasing Heap Size of Java application in JVM? Example Tutorial
Hello guys, if you are wondering how to change the heap size of the heap space of your Java application then you have come to the right place. In this article, I am going to tell you how to increase Java heap space so that your JVM will not crash using OutOfmemoryError. We have already seen how to increase heap memory in Maven and ANT and now we will learn how to increase heap size in Java, Eclipse, Tomcat, and WebSphere Server in a series of articles. Since all these are Java applications, once you know how to change heap space in Java, you can do that in any Java application, provided you know the right place, which is what we will see in this article.
