> We noticed this with jdk 1.6 where if no heap size is set the process takes up to 1/4 of mem available on the machine.
> More info http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3428251/is-there-a-default-xmx-setting-for-java-1-5
> You can run the following command to see what are the defaults for your machine
> {code}
> java -XX:+PrintFlagsFinal -version 2>&1 | grep -i -E 'heapsize|permsize|version'
> {code}
> And we noticed on two different class of machines that this was 1/4th of total memory on the machine.
