This is a bug in Sun's VM. See http://java.sun.com/javase/6/webnotes/trouble/TSG-VM/html/gbywc.html Also http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/tooldocs/windows/javac.html#options The -J option -Joption Pass option to the java launcher called by javac. For example, -J-Xms48m sets the startup memory to 48 megabytes. Although it does not begin with -X, it is not a `standard option' of javac. It is a common convention for -J to pass options to the underlying VM executing applications written in Java. Andrew.
