-Dhpux.im.enable.awt (version 1.2.2 and later)
This option is a workaround to allow the java input method to work with European
locale composed characters. Using this option will disable the java input method for
the Asian locale.
-Dhp.swing.use FastSwing (version 1.3.1 only)
This option improves the performance of swing APIs for Java™ for HP-UX version
1.3.1.
-pa11 (version 1.2.2 and later on PA-RISC only)
NOTE: If you run HotSpot with the -pa11 flag or run on a PA 1.1 system, your heap
address space will be restricted to 1G.
PA1.1 binaries can be run on PA1.1 as well as PA2.0 systems; however, The PA2.0
shared libraries are the default if you are running on a PA2.0 system. You can override
the use of the PA2.0 shared libraries on a PA2.0 system by specifying the -pa11 flag.
On a PA2.0 based system, if you invoke Java™ as follows, the default PA2.0 shared
libraries are used:
java -version
If you invoke Java™ with the -pa11 option as follows, the PA1.1 shared libraries are
used:
java -pa11 -version
-verbosegc
Prints out the result of a garbage collection to the stdout stream. At every garbage
collection, the following 5 fields are printed:
[%T %B->%A(%C), %D]
%T is "GC:" when the garbage collection is a scavenge, and "Full GC:" when its a full
garbage collection. A scavenge collects live objects from the New Generation only,
whereas a full garbage collection collects objects from all spaces in the Java™ heap.
%B is the size of Java™ heap used before garbage collection, in KB.
%A is the size after garbage collection, in KB.
%C is the current capacity of the entire Java™ heap, in KB.
%D is the duration of the collection in seconds.
-Xbatch
(Excerpt below from Oracle's documentation.)
Disable background compilation. Normally, if compilation of a method is taking a long
time, the VM will compile the method as a background task, running the method in
interpreter mode until the background compilation is finished. The -Xbatch flag
disables background compilation so that compilation of all methods proceeds as a
