If you launch from a shell the command: java -?
this will return the list of available options for the command.
By running the command: java -X
instead will be shown a list of non-standard options.
Note: This list may vary from version to version of Java and is subject to change (between versions) without warning or notice.
Options that are specified with -XX are not stable and are not recommended for casual use.
These options are subject to change without notice.
-Xmx900m |
maximum Java heap size (900 megabytes) |
-XX:MaxPermSize=384m |
maximum Size of the Permanent Generation (384 megabytes) |
-Xms512m |
initial Java heap size |
-XX:MaxNewSize=24m |
Maximum size of new generation |
-XX:NewSize=24m |
Default size of new generation |
-XX:+UseParNewGC |
Parallel Young Generation garbage collector (for multiprocessor machines) |
-XX:+CMSParallelRemarkEnabled |
Attempt to descrease remark pauses when used with -XX:+UseParNewGC |
-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC |

-Dorg.apache.el.parser.COERCE_TO_ZERO=false |
If true, when coercing expressions to numbers "" and null will be coerced to zero as required by the specification. If not specified, the default value of true will be used. |
Note: Many of the options presented are related to JVM 1.4 in particular, refer to the following URLs:

Should therefore be careful when using these options on a JVM 1.6.
For the latest list of available options for the J2SE 6.0 refer to the following documentation:
