Re: [platform-ant-dev] IDE Crashing

Thanks for that!
Here is something to think about.

If You do not declare the maximum memory limit  then it is left to the
OS memory manager.

The -Xmx <size> is useful for programming a small device  like  J2ME.
If you are programming for a small device which is memory constrained
then you can use -Xmx JVM property to emulate the small device,
even though you may be using a PC.

I *think* this is the reason why the makers of the JVM provided the -Xmx
property,
so you use it as an emulator for small devices  therefore
Java is write once (PC/mainframe) run any where (J2ME).

I don't know any of the JVM writers nor have I asked them
but I *think* the above described reason is the thinking
behind the -Xmx property.
Similarly dynamic class loading/reflections, proxy classes,
is actually part of one of the SUN architecures.
