Awesome information Thank you . . .
I would have happily given you my JVM version IF I HAD KNOWN that is what I was dealing with . . . Now that I do, I’m guessing I won’t have much problems finding it. THANK YOU.

What kind of options you want to use and where these are documented depend on the JVM you are using. I don't really think it is the job of Jenkins to document the options of JVMs. Jenkins developers cannot know which JVM you choose to run Jenkins. Most people probably assume the Sun JVM and it is very popular. But AFAIK it is not the only one around. As you can see, it doesn't make it easy to give exact advice if people do not tell which JVM they are using. Often people also fail to mention which operating system they use. (I know, java is supposed to hide that, but it doesn't) Some things for you to study: - Run "java -h" and study its output. - The same for "java -X" - And remember, google is your friend. -- Sami "Frank Merrow" <[email protected]> kirjoitti 3.3.2012 kello 9.15: I’ve seen several post about increasing Jenkins memory with Jenkins Java Options . . . and also found the <arguments> values in the jenkins.xml file which seem to be similar. What I have NOT found is documentation on any of these . . . What exactly can go in <arguments></arguments>? This is always glibly shown like “oh everyone knows what this means”, but . . . well no they don’t. (-Xrs . . . what is that?) No, I don’t really want to know what –Xrs does . . . I want to know what all the options are and what they do . . . Googling doesn’t seem to be helping in this case; Jenkins docs probably should be able to help me, but I have yet to find the right page. Anyone know where these are documented? Frank
