Tha allocattion of memory is done at runtime, by the JVM. memory on the heap is allocated to each object , and onthe stack to the local variables. so while a thread runs, it only uses as much space as the objects it creates.... the limit depends o n how much memory JVM has. I dont think space is allocated to the thread as a whole. only to objects and primitives.If the JVM runs opt of heap space it throws a java out of memory error.
