This section contains several example projects users can import and run with STEM. STEM is designed to allow collaboration and sharing of work by simply importing and exporting projects from your workspace. For information on how to import a project please see: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Importing_and_Exporting_Projects All of the demos available here Require STEM version dated Sept. 17, 2009 or later Some of the example projects you can download are very large as they contain continents or even groups of continents. Before you try to run any of these large scenarios you must make sure you allocate enough system memory for STEM. If you don't do this the application may hang or crash with a "Heap Space" error. To allocate enough memory in Windows, create a shortcut for launching STEM. You may place this anywhere (e.g., on your desktop or on the quicklaunch bar). Right click on the shortcut. Select "Properties" You should see a field in the Properties Dialogue labeled Target: to the right in the text field you will see something like C:\stem_builds\stem\STEM.exe -vmargs -Xms812M -Xmx812M To launch STEM with more memory you must add "virtual machine arguments" to the target line. For example, Target: C:\stem_builds\stem\STEM.exe -vmargs -Xms896M -Xmx896M Should work for the demo projects available.
