I hate to discourage anyone from reporting a bug, but this doesn't look like a bug to me.
1) all the other -XX options seem to use syntax like -XX:PermSize=256m 2) is anyone really using XX:PermSize? Google only found it mentioned 3 times. 3) these -XX options are described as "not stable" and ... subject to change without notice. http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/hotspot/vmoptions.jsp Does using "=256m" allow the JVM to start up for you? Sincerely, -james. -- Java won't start with PermSize setting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/223856 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
