Hey dudes, Does anyone know what the default memory size of the JVMs Java Heap is? Or does it depend on your application? Thanx, Daed.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by this. Do you mean the working set of memory or the max size you can use by default, or something alltogether different??

I don't think the jvm puts a limit on your memory usage, outside of what's available.

Cheers

96 * 2^20 bytes on 4.0 / 5.0 series.
or what programmer specifies by -Xmx switch. The reason behind this was more optimal GC, however you should apply some pressure to developers to get rid of this limitation (for fully privileged applications) ASAP.
