Default JVM Settings

[Ritesh Agrawal]

Hi,

Does JAVA provide any command line utility to find out the default JVM settings for an installation. If yes, what is it? If no, is there any other way to find out the default JVM settings?

Thanks

Which JVM settings do you mean?

[William Brogden]

Take a look at the java.lang.System getProperties() method javadocs. This shows a long list of JVM related properties.

The getenv() method returns a Map of system environment properties as passed to the current JVM (if security settings allow) - if the settings you want are environment properties, look there.

Well, I am refering to default JVM settings like the default minimum Heap Size/ default maximum heap size etc. allocated when the JVM is started.

java.lang.System getProperties() doesn't give the heap size.

I am interested to find out the default JVM parameters/settings used by an Java application when it is invoked by the java command. I understand that the default JVM settings can be overridden by providing command line options likes -Xms -Xmx etc. I am looking for a command line utility (if any) or any other means to find out the default values if no overriding options are provided.

Thanks..

I don't know of a programmatic solution - but have you tried looking in the documentation? Most of the default settings are described in the docs for the java command, or in pages linked from there.
