Hello guys,
I have troubles using OpenJDK under mine VirtualBox. See:
http://wiki.apidesign.org/wiki/Virtualization#Too_Big_Initial_Limit

After a discussion at #openjdk it looks like like a result of changing the 
defaults in amount of heap size and perm gen size. I believe the change is 
wrong. It shall rather check the # of available memory and if lower than 1GB 
stick with old defaults.
