Description _ viendu 2008-10-23 14:44:00 UTC 
This is OpenSuse 11, Netbeans 6.5 RC1.  JDK 1.6.0_10.

When doing the compilation, I got this:

javac: invalid flag: -J-Xmx1024m
Usage: javac <options> <source files>
use -help for a list of possible options

The commandline compilation with -J-Xmx1024m works fine.
Comment 1 _ viendu 2008-10-23 14:44:36 UTC 
Due to RC1, change to P1

I presume you use J2SE Project. When using the default build script and the default platform (the one that the IDE is
running on), the compiler runs in the same VM as does the IDE, and the VM arguments are not supported in this case. If
you need to use VM arguments for the compiler, you need to use non-default platform. See e.g.:
