How can I start an Java applet with more memory?

Question

The default 64 MB max heap memory can be small for a large Java application. Are there any applet parameter to increment this for a signed applet?

For a Java program this is a simple command line parameter but how this work for an applet in the browser.

Answer 1

The new plugin architecture in JDK6u10 supports this. Prior to that, the only way to do it was in the Java control panel.
