Hello everyone,

From the available documents from java.sun.com, I can not find rich
information about this option, which is used to tune memory of JVM. Are there
any samples/documents of this option, like the meaning/function/best
practices of this option. Thanks.

regards,
George

Which ones? Sun is a big site, and before I
go hunting URL's for arcane information, it is
handy to know the pages you do not consider
helpful.

Best practices might suggest 'avoid using it
unless you understand it'.. (I can imagine it
is something that inexperienced developers
turn to when code has memory leaks - but it
will not prevent OutOfMemoryErrors.)
