转: 谈JAVA_OPTS环境变量不起作用

javaeye上搜索了一番，发现很多人都有这个疑问。经过Team Leader的指导，发现：

1、JAVA_OPTS只对tomcat/weblogic等Web服务器中间件有效，以“java -cp [*.jar] test.Main”方式运行的不会去读取JAVA_OPTS.

2、如果在运行java类，需要设置Heap Size的话，需要如下方式：
java -Xmx2048m -jar test.jar
或者java -Xmx1024m -cp douglas.jar com.douglas.Main
3、如果是在Unix或者Aix服务器上，可以直接写下如下语句
export JAVA_OPTS=-Xmx1024m -Djava.awt.headless=true
java $JAVA_OPTS -cp douglas.jar com.douglas.Main
或者vi test.sh文件，写下：
#!/bin/sh
classpath=./douglas.jar
/usr/java5/bin/java -Xmx1024M -cp $classpath com.douglas.Main
4、对于非Java语言(C++)调用Java代码，最好的方式是提供给操作员设置的页面，在申明JavaVM时，将JavaOPTS数值放置至JavaVM中。

对于JVM设置，可以查考如下配置example：
# Memory configuration
JAVA_OPTS="-server"
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Xms1280m"
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Xmx1280m"
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -XX:NewSize=640m"
