Description George Hernandez 2004-03-05 16:10:08 UTC 
The netbeans installer overwrites the ide.cfg file
in order to add the jdkhome flag. In doing so, it
also adds the flags " -J-Xmx96m -J-Xss1024k
-J-Xms24m -J-Xverify:none " which should not have
been added. These flags must not be added to the
ide.cfg file. Adding the jdkhome flag is OK.
Comment 1 George Hernandez 2004-03-05 16:50:27 UTC 
Added info as to the problems this causes:

* the presence of -J-ea and missing of -J-Xverify:none seriously impacts
  both startup time and runtime.  In development time we use the 
  different set of flags to catch more errors but it has the cost of
  worse performance

* the installer adds the -J-Xss1024k flag.  I have no idea what it is
  good/bad for.  We never introduced this flag ourselves.  No idea about
  performance, whatsoever impact
Comment 2 George Hernandez 2004-03-08 18:15:46 UTC 
fixed in release 3.6.
