Hi, all,

I'm now trying to run Netbeans on Harmony. On IBM VM it starts,
though with many errors, but on DRL VM it exits immediately with
the following diagnostic:

Unknown option -XX:PermSize=32m
Use java -help to get help on command line options

The problem is Netbeans startup file is .exe that makes up the
command line and starts java. And that .exe adds -XX:PermSize
and -XX:MaxPermSize options to command line, and DRL VM can't
handle them.

JRockit also doesn't support these options, but it just ignores
them and starts normally:

[JRockit] WARNING:  '-XX:PermSize=32m' is not a valid VM option.
Ignoring.
[JRockit] WARNING:  '-XX:MaxPermSize=160m' is not a valid VM option.
Ignoring.

I think we should follow the JRockit/IBM way in DRL VM and ignore
Sun options we do not support.

My suggestion is to file this as an app-oriented RI-compatibility bug
in DRLVM and fix it as such.

What do you think?
