I've never understood why sun chose to have a "max heap size" setting and default it to 64 megs. To figure out what your max heap size should be you pretty much have to use trial and error. This makes java inherently unstable. I can't count the # of times I've had processes crash with an OutOfMemoryException because the heap size is set either to the default 64 meg or too low.
Why not do what every other runtime does and just allocate memory as needed? And what exactly does the max heap size setting do anyway? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
