It's the mode you're executing in. I don't have a UNIX/Linux system handy, but on a Windows machine, the client and server JVMs are packaged as separate DLLs. The launcher chooses which one to use based on a registry setting, if not overridden on the command line. (I presume something similar happens with UNIX.) The DLLs are stored in separate directories under <your_jre>/bin. The value stored in java.vm.name is hard-coded at compilation time of the JVM for each of the DLLs, so if it says client, that's what you've got. > Why is the -server option not taking effect? A very good question. Check that you actually have both client and server directories under your jre/bin directory (not jdk/bin - check the jre inside the jdk). The 1.4.2 JRE for Windows does not include a server mode, whereas the JDK does, as does the 1.5 JDK. Don't know about the UNIX flavors, or the 1.5 JRE. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
