Specify memory settings during installation

SoapUI's default memory limits are often too low. This means that every time a new version of SoapUI is released, users like myself must manually edit the Java options.

Do you plan to ever improve this process?
It would be nice if, during installation, the program automatically detected total system memory and set an appropriate memory limit. Or alternatively, the user is prompted to enter their desired memory limit.

Obviously not a huge issue, but it would save some time and frustration whenever SoapUI is updated and some of our tests begin to fail due to java.lang.OutOfMemoryErrors.

    Unfortunately, right now the only way to increase the memory is via the VMoptions file and its only necessary if the project that you are running consumes a lot of resources. Lots of our users dont need to tamper with the memory settings.
