No, PermGen is independent of the general heap, limited by MaxPermSize and -Xmx respectively. They are allocated contiguously to insure that the underlying reference marking of HotSpot GC works properly. > Odd that the NewSize can exceed the maximum heap. It can't really; if I get time before going on vacation this Friday I'll look to see where that number comes from. > You *did* say it was unnecessarily complicated ;) Probably "seemed like a good idea at the time." - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
