Thanks, it was it !
the command for Blackdown JVM is (Linux) :
export CATALINA_OPTS="-mx=128m" (nice machine, but not that big :-)
$CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh start
It works perfectly, although Tomcat is veeeeeeeeeery long to start (almost
as long as netbeans !)
The point is that there is no JIT implementation for Linux PPC :-(
But still, it's long, even after I commented out the Tomcat-Apache in
server.xml...
Any idea on how to make it start quicker ?
