    as i run the program, when this class loads all the images, a part of the program shows this error

    it says something about images, i thought that the reason might be the amount of images i put in the code to load, i removed some of them, and the program runs, what is the problem behind this? i searched some on the web, and i ended up with the VisualVM, profiling something, i know where to open that program, but i dont know how to use it to asses my java heap space problem any help please..

    There is not much to profile if your program is just running out of memory due to the number and size of the images you load - which looks to be the case here, and a profiler will tell you just that. Increase the heap size by using the -Xmx VM argument to an appropriate size, or load the images lazily (I would doubt you need every single one of those images at any one time). If the exception is spurious and unpredictable, a profiler will help to track down leaks due to references and caching

    thank you for pointing me at the right direction again, thats what i was thinking, adjusting the heap size, but i decided to ask first, and by the way, is it because every image is loaded "STATICALLY" means that as long as the program is running, the class is loaded, all the image references is "JUST THERE"? im about to try this but.. would i minimize the outcome, by just creating instances of that class, call an instance method , load the image, and just return the only images i need?

    How you do it is up to you. If you do not need all the images at a single time, then you can only load them when needed - this will reduce the memory footprint as well as allow the 'loaded but not needed anymore' references to be garbage collected.
