Forgot to mention that when I try with the following command: java -Xms512m -Xmx750m
it does succeed in creating the JVM - differently (but obviously), if I try: java -Xms512m -Xmx6750m it fails (as expected). I don't understand why I get different behaviour passing this option the JVM when starting Tomcat, and when I give directly to the JVM - I have tried this also with a simple Java main class that instantiates big arrays. Any hit/suggestions are very welcomed.
