Advanced Network and JVM options

This table shows the available options on the Advanced tab:

Option Description
JVM Arguments In this field, you can pass in command-line arguments.

Arguments can be passed to the JVM during invocation. The arguments are specific to a JVM. These options vary by operating system. Specify java -h on the command line to see the options.

Note: If other items are included on the JVM Arguments line, then they must be separated by spaces.

The default maximum heap size is half of the physical memory up to a physical memory size of 192 MB. Otherwise, one-fourth of the physical memory up to a physical memory size of 1 GB.

For example, if your machine has 128 MB of physical memory, then the maximum heap size is 64 MB. A greater than or equal to 1 GB of physical memory results in a maximum heap size of 256 MB.

If this is blank, then the default maximum heap size is 256MB. If the maximum heap size is not enough for the client, then you can specify an increased maximum heap size using -Xmx (for example, -Xmx512m).

Title If you require another title on the IDE, then specify the name in the field.

Customize the IDE title with these variables:

  • @site shows the site name.
  • @version shows the IDE version.
  • @host shows the host name.

This is the default value.
