> DRL VM aborts if it finds an unknown option in the command line. However, some applications put RI-specific options to command line, and DRL VM aborts, making those applications unusable with DRL VM.
> This issue was discovered while trying to run Netbeans on Harmony, it passes -XX:PermSize and -XX:MaxPermSize. Netbeans launcher for Windows is .exe file, and tweaking the parameters it passes to JVM is difficult.
> It seems like an important compatibility issue, and the right way to resolve it is knowing and ignoring RI-specific options, like JRockit does.
> Here's a simple example:
> java -XX:PermSize=32m -XX:MaxPermSize=160m java.lang.Object
> Output on RI:
> Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: main
> Output on BEA JRockit:
> [JRockit] WARNING:  '-XX:PermSize=32m' is not a valid VM option. Ignoring.
> [JRockit] WARNING:  '-XX:MaxPermSize=160m' is not a valid VM option. Ignoring.
> java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: main
> Output on Harmony/IBM VM (sorry for russian due to russian locale on my machine):
> HMYEXEL056E В классе java.lang.Object не реализован main()
> Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: java/lang/Object.main([Ljava/lang/String;)V
> FAILED to invoke JVM.
> Output on Harmony/DRL VM:
> Unknown option -XX:PermSize=32m
> Use java -help to get help on command line options
