Description Svata Dedic 2002-05-02 09:39:25 UTC 
"Default heap size" makes no sense (no such option
supported by the JVM). There's a minimum heap size
and maximum one.
Comment 1 Svata Dedic 2002-05-02 10:12:43 UTC 
Reassigning to the specification owner.
Comment 2 Chris Ledantec 2002-05-06 10:22:36 UTC 
again, this is coming direct from your suggestion that users wanted to
set the defualt heap size. i'm guessing that means the starting
minimum but clarify if that's not the case.

do we need both?
Comment 3 Svata Dedic 2002-05-06 13:53:45 UTC 
I think that "maximum heap size" would be better, since that is what
limits user app's operations. There are several such parameters in
HotSpot so I think it's better to be precise which one is it ;-)
Minimum heap size is set only occasionally (to ensure there's enough
memory ? bcs of less garbage collection and faster startup/process ?)
and I think we can leave it to Advanced mode.
Comment 4 Chris Ledantec 2002-05-09 16:57:25 UTC 
fixed. i'll be updating the screenshots shortly.
Comment 5 Jan Becicka 2002-10-15 15:22:34 UTC 
Sorry, I don't understand what was wrong and 
what was fixed. Svata, please check it and 
verify it. Thanks.
Comment 6 Svata Dedic 2002-10-17 18:25:40 UTC 
Verified. The feature is going to be removed from Tools | Options so it does not
appear in T|O UI spec.
Comment 7 Quality Engineering 2003-07-01 13:16:05 UTC 
Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
