Your available heap space.

^ like he said.
But remember that the map actually contains references to the key and value objects, not the objects themselves, so even if your key or value objects are enormous, you can still create a hashmap with millions of references to them. In practice you will nromally run out of space for the value objects long before the hashmap size becomes significant.
