Description Peter Lam 2007-02-21 18:25:19 UTC 
Relating to issue 91942, the dialog message should be more informative to users.
Currently the dialog containing the following info is displayed when the diagram
is too large to be exported to a particular format. The message "Java Heap
space" does not tell users why the diagram can not be created and what to do to
successfully export the diagram to an image.

Dialog title: Cannot create image
Dialog text: Java Heap space

Repro steps:
- create a uml project
- create a diagram with lots of (50+) elements
- export the diagram to jpg (or png) format in actual size

low use case not currently impacting our installed user base.
Comment 2 Yang Su 2007-07-12 20:50:03 UTC 
UML users are normally advanced developers, this standard exception message about heap size should be considered
acceptable.
