This panel displays (Figure 6-4) the different command-line options that were used when starting JRockit. The options that have been used in the example are the following:

The name of the recorded file has been set (filename) and the duration of the recording (recordingtime).
The initial, minimum and maximum Java heap has been set (-Xms and -Xmx)
Some non-standard (BEA internal) D-options have also been set in this example.

There are many more command-line options that can be set. For comprehensive information on the different command-line options, please see the BEA JRockit Reference Manual.

You can determine which options you can see by specifying a filter. To filter options, do the following

Select a table column name for which you want to filter the information. In Figure 6-6, the Key column was selected.
Enter text for the information you want to see; for example, in Figure 6-6, cpu* was entered to limit the options displayed to just those beginning with the text string "cpu".
