[clug] Why isn't Java popular on the Linux Desktop? [SEC=PERSONAL]

[Jason Stokes]

The -Xms option sets the minimum heap size. Running:

java -server -Xms256M -Xmx1000M -XX:MaxHeapFreeRatio=50 -jar FreeCol.jar

Definitely shows the memory footprint fluctuating around 1200 MB but not by as much as one might
expect.


Seems like the JVM always ends up allocating close to the maximum heap size no matter
what you specify for the -Xms parameter.
