Hello Nicola,

to invoke saxon, u normally need to run it from command line, like
below..using java and the -jar switch to tell where the saxon jar is;

java -jar saxon8.jar source.xml style.xsl

java invokes the jvm (java virtual machine) to run the file,.....and has
switches to control memory usage (-Xms and -Xmx), which is unrelated to
saxon...but related to defining memory for *any* java program.

java -Xms512m -Xmx512m -jar saxon8.jar source.xml style.xsl

-Xms defines minimum heap size

-Xmx defines maximum heap size

(note: the X is just java convention which defines these switches as extensions...I think it was introduced with Java 1.3)

the above invokes saxon, with the appropriate memory....512m = 512 megabytes of memory...so depending on the resources of your computer....will define what memory you can supply. It is OK to have the same value for min and max...
