Description Mickael Istria

Depending on the JVM (OS, Vendor, version...) some various options make sense for an optimal startup. However, those optimal VM configurations are not portable across VMs.
It would be interesting to have the executable launcher able te have various VM configuration, and being able to select the most relevant one when starting the JVM.

I was thinking of something like:

-vmvmargs Oracle:1.8.0:-XXsomethingcool

I haven't looked at the details of how we implemented the permgen size arg, but the idea would be to able to expose the selector so that it's not hardcoded like it is now.
