openjdk,icedtea - Xmx option mandatory

[Roberto Mannai]

In order to get some feedback, I wrote to the
opensuse-java at opensuse.org mailing list. At least one user was
successful running the command, it seems, on a 64bit processor.

In order to get more feedback, I open the following bug:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=414462

Coping below for your convenience:

When running the java process, I get the following error:

linux:~/.eclipse # java -version
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap

In order to work, I must set the Xmx option, for example:
linux:~/.eclipse # java -Xmx1m -version
java version "1.6.0"
IcedTea Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-b09)
OpenJDK Client VM (build 1.6.0-b09, mixed mode)

RPM version:
linux:~/.eclipse # rpm -q java-1_6_0-openjdk
java-1_6_0-openjdk-1.2_b09-9.1

Opensuse version: 11.0
Kernel version:
linux:~/.eclipse # uname -r
2.6.25.11-0.1-pae


Ciao
