The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is included in the Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE platform), which is required by the Enterprise Server. Incorrect JVM settings will prevent the server from running, so use care when changing these settings.
The JVM General Settings page contains the following options.
The name of the installation directory of the Java SE software, which is required for Enterprise Server to run. To verify that the version of Java SE software that you specify is supported in this release, see the Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v3 Release Notes. If you enter a nonexistent directory name or the directory for an unsupported version of Java SE software, then Enterprise Server will not start.
The command-line options for the Java programming language compiler. The Enterprise Server runs the compiler when Enterprise JavaBeansTM (EJBTM) components are deployed.
Enables debugging with the Java Platform Debugger Architecture (JPDA).
JPDA is used by application developers. For more information, see the Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v3 Application Development Guide.
Specifies the JPDA options passed to the JVM when debugging is enabled.
The command-line options for the rmic compiler. The Enterprise Server runs the rmic compiler when EJB components are deployed.
