Hi Julian, the minimal build filters out a whole bunch of optional JVM subsystems in the configure stage, see https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/04c47da118b2870d1c7525348a2ffdf9cd1cc0a4/make/autoconf/jvm-features.m4#L422-L425
That typically manifests via flags like -DINCLUDE_CDS=0, see hotspot/lib/JvmFeatures.gmk HTH, Cheers, Thomas On Tue, Jul 12, 2022 at 1:24 PM Julian Waters <tanksherma...@gmail.com> wrote: > Sorry if this sounds like a bit of a silly question, but what's the > difference between a Minimal VM (Enabled by --enable-jvm-feature-minimal), > and, say, the regular Server VM the build system generates by default?
