is there a way to make netbeans use the hotspot server vm

Question

Does anybody know if netbeans by default uses the hotspot server vm? I'm trying to figure out if that would be an option of not. Thanks!

Answer 1

It seems to be this option to make NetBeans run 'java -server' instead of just java:

netbeans -J-server

Note: in term of raw performance though, this might not be the most important option to use.

That looks like the right answer (and the link is splendid, BTW). For some reason I cannot seem to be able to co-erce netbeans on windows to actually accept the param: -J-server even specifying an appropriate jdk and all. Anybody had any success with this? – Academia

@rogerpack: did you copy-paste the -J-server from this answer? Because sometime this can happen: #170213 – Rosol
