Research direction

Start by reproducing the lein cuke-gems installation command under JRuby and record the environment details needed to interpret the memory-cap error. Confirm the default safety-cap value and document the result, including how the reported -J-Xmx####m setting relates to it.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

During install when I run 'lein cuke-gems' I get this error:

Error: Your application used more memory than the safety cap.
Specify -J-Xmx####m to increase it (#### = cap size in MB).

What's the default value?
