Java Heap space error when trying to create metadata for a excel file

HI,
I am trying to create metadata for an excel file but my program gets "Unhandled event loop exception, Java heap space" when I select the file in step 2 of file creation - At the bottom I have posted the error from the log.
The file is only 7mb in size(tried other files too) and I have used files before with 200mb+ with no problems so I can't see why it is crashing. The current jobs in the project run fine with no problems.
Running on XP - TOS version Version: 4.0.1 - 2GB ram
I have read through some forum post about memory problems and they suggested adjusting the heap size in the config file but i have attempted with no luck. below is my current setup for the heap size
-vmargs
-Xms40m
-Xmx512m
-XX:MaxPermSize=128m

As mention the error from the logs
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
