Property/parameter to prevent windows from swapping out JVM memory on minimize?

Thread view:

I remember reading a while back about a JVM parameter or system property
that tells the JVM to tell windows not to swap out its process memory
just because its been minimized for a while.

I can't find this information, and was hoping someone here would know
what I'm talking about :-)

Thanks,
Daniel.

I can not find it in:

Note that all the -XX's is different between SUN, IBM, BEA and
Oracle.

I think you mean: -Dsun.awt.keepWorkingSetOnMinimize=true

Indeed, that *is* what I was looking for :-). It would be nice if there
was a list of these properties that the sun java implemenation cares about.
