When running my java program, I get following error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Requested array size exceeds VM limit

I am wondering how I can increase the limits on my system, so that my program does not crash. Also, how can I print the current limits?

Check this answer on StackOverflow. Also instead of increasing memory you might want to check why your application uses so much (unless it is supposed to be memory heavy because of the used algorithm). –  Baarn Dec 4 '13 at 10:18
