HP-UX 11i Java JDK/JRE Version 5.0.30 Release Notes

4 Usage documentation
For the usage of documentation for developers, see the HP-UX Programmer's Guide for
Java 2 under “User guide” at http://www.hp.com/go/hpux-java-docs. There you will
find information on HotSpot options, HP-specific options and features, suggestions and
examples for allocating memory, how to use WDB to examine backtraces in Java threads,
code examples for using Java Native Interface, and more. You might find the JDK/JRE
5.0.n Usage Notes appendix useful.
Change in loading of .hotspot_compiler and .hotspotrc files
JDK/JRE 5.0.26 and later contains changes to the default implicit loading of the
.hotspot_compiler and .hotspotrc file from the current working directory. These
files are no longer loaded by default. For existing deployments that rely on
.hotspot_compiler (for example, to exclude a method from hotspot compilation),
and .hotspotrc, an unsupported behavioral option is provided to simulate the old
loading behavior. The following command-line options support old behavior:
• -XX:Flags=.hotspotrc
reverts to old behavior for .hotspotrc.
• -XX:CompileCommandFile=.hotspot_compiler
reverts to old behavior for the .hotspot_compiler.
NOTE: The implicit loading of .hotspot_compiler from the directory where libjvm
resides remains unchanged.
