    # -server
    # Select the java HotSpot Server JVM
    # The 64-bit version of the JDK support only the Server VM,
    # so in that case the option is implicit
    # ... so it's redundant to today's world but it make me feel good.

    # -Xms/Xmx
    # Xms Sets the initial size of the Heap
    # Xmx sets the Maximum size of the Heap.

    # Most newly created objects are made here
    # Objects taht did not become unreachbale and survice the young

    # -UseConcMarkSweepGC
    # Also called the low latency GC since pausing time is very short
    # When this is enabled it also enabled
    # -XX:+UseParNewGC Potentially speed up your generation GC
    # by a factor equal to the number of CPUS
    # (see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2101518/difference-between-xxuseparallelgc-and-xxuseparnewgc)

    # -XX:+CMSIncrementalMode
    #
    # I am not going to set this one but it's worthe mentioning
    # It has been deprecated in Java 8. It is useful when you have 1 or 2
    # CPU machine. It helps reduce latency by doing smaller garbage collections
    # see thies sites for details

    # -CMSClassUnloadingEnabled
    # In an old school java program classes are forever. But with
    # Modern languages like Groovy... Classes are created at runtime, every
    # scirpt may create a few new classes. With this set the PermGen space will
    # Be garbage collecte3d. Without this you have a memory Leak.
    #
    # Must also have UseConcMarkSweepGC set for this to work.

    # -java.awt.headless
    # Basically tell the JVM not to load awt libraries
    # Your server is not a desktop app, there is more to this rule than that.
    # If you want to go into it check out.

    export JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Djava.awt.headless=true"


    # -java.security.egd
    # This one is abit of a debate
    # If you don't set this it will use /dev/random on startup
    # which can block and make tomcat startup slower.
    # But it's technically more secure... but no one has shown
    # a way to break the results of urandom which is faster.
    # For more details see.
