You cannot reserve more memory for a Java applet from the server side,
_except_ when the client runs Java 6 Update 10 or later _in the browser_.

The way to increase memory for those installations is described by

        https://jdk6.dev.java.net/plugin2/#JAVA_ARGUMENTS

This information was found in the first link Google showed me for "java
applet memory".

Probably a better way would be to run ImageJ via WebStart; there you can
specify much better what the requirements are.

Ciao,
