Open the bug: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=414462 For test I used the openjdk 1.6. Ciao Roberto On Mon, Aug 4, 2008 at 11:24 AM, Michal Vyskocil wrote:

Hi all

For a test I've just installed: java-1_7_0-icedtea on my opensuse11 box.

"java -version" command crashes with an error. In order to work, I must use the -Xmx option, also with 1m:

Works for me

$ /usr/lib64/jvm/java-1.7.0-icedtea-1.5_b24/jre/bin/java -version java version "1.7.0" IcedTea Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0-b24) IcedTea 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.7.0-b24, mixed mode)

$ rpm -q java-1_7_0-icedtea java-1_7_0-icedtea-1.5_b24-9.2

...

java -Xmx1m -version

Any reason for it? Is it a workaround? In factory is it fixed?

Don't know. Please fill a bug into bugzilla with the error message.

...

Thanks to http://en.opensuse.org/Java/How_To_use_Java_with_Firefox_on_64-bit_op enSuSE_10.3 and Michal Vyskocil for sharing this workaround.

BTW: use rather a java-1_6_0-openjdk, it's more mature and stable than icedtea.

In the while, 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.

Hi Where could I find the java source code from whom you compiled the RPMs in repositories? In the buildservice? Which project?

My suspect is that the default Xmx size is greater than my free available ram + swap (380 mega in this moment).

Ciao Roberto
