I downloaded from: https://api.opensuse.org/build/openSUSE:Factory/standard/i586/java-1_6_0-ope... the last factory java version. If I'm not wrong, the Xmx setting is done into the file: openjdk-6-src-b09-11_apr_2008-fedora/openjdk/jdk/make/docs/Makefile Therefore the default size should be: MAX_VM_MEMORY = 512 That default value makes the process crash on my PC, which has 512 mb of RAM (java -Xmx512m -version crashes, too). I think the SUN default value was 384 - see: https://jdk-jrl-sources.dev.java.net/source/browse/jdk-jrl-sources/jdk6u3/tr... In my PC, I can run successfully: java -Xmx384m -version If this discussion of default value was correct, we could close the bug, however that would also mean that default openjdk / icedtea RPM versions will not work out of the box (without patches) on PCs with scarce RAM like mine. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
