Description: JVM options are parameters that can be passed to the Java Virtual Machine to configure its behavior. These options allow developers and administrators to adjust various aspects of the JVM’s performance and resource management, such as memory, garbage collection, and debugging. Options are generally divided into two categories: standard options and non-standard options. Standard options affect the runtime environment of the application, such as the amount of memory allocated to the JVM or the execution mode. On the other hand, non-standard options refer to deeper configurations that can influence the internal functioning of the JVM, such as the selection of the garbage collector or the activation of experimental features. Proper use of these options is crucial for optimizing the performance of Java applications, especially in production environments where efficiency and stability are paramount. Additionally, knowledge of these options allows developers to diagnose issues and adjust the JVM’s behavior according to the specific needs of their applications.
