[gentoo-user] FW: jre memory heap size issue

[Adam Carter]

Sorry - here it is in plain text for the luddites, j/k :-)

I have set -Xmx256m using the Java control panel GUI, and;
sphinx jre # pgrep -lf java
8949 /opt/sun-jdk-1.6.0.13/jre/bin/java -Xmx256m -Xbootclasspath/a:/opt/sun-jdk-1.6.0.13/jre/lib/javaws.jar:/opt/sun-jdk-1.6.0.13/jre/lib/deploy.jar:/opt/sun-jdk-1.6.0.13/jre/lib/plugin.jar -classpath /opt/sun-jdk-1.6.0.13/jre/lib/deploy.jar -Djnlpx.vmargs=-Xmx256m -Djnlpx.jvm=/opt/sun-jdk-1.6.0.13/jre/bin/java -Djnlpx.splashport=42982 -Djnlpx.home=/opt/sun-jdk-1.6.0.13/jre/bin -Djnlpx.remove=false -Djnlpx.offline=false -Djnlpx.relaunch=true -Djnlpx.heapsize=67108864,268435456 -Djava.security.policy=file:/opt/sun-jdk-1.6.0.13/jre/lib/security/javaws.policy -DtrustProxy=true -Xverify:remote com.sun.javaws.Main file:///tmp/idm.jnlp
sphinx jre #

And i have restarted firefox, but when i try to run the app it still complains about the memory size. the -Xmx256m tweak recommended by the app vendor works in windows, and IIRC it also worked on my old x86 machine. The current machine is a newly built amd64. Any ideas on what's wrong?

You may have better luck getting informed responses from the Gentoo-Java 
  list.
