Launcher Wizard: VM Options File

  In this step of the launcher wizard, you can configure a VM options file for the launcher.
  For detailed information on VM options files, please see the help topic on VM parameters.
  If you select the Copy template file with explanations for user or the Generate with the following contents options, a VM options file is placed next to the launcher with the same file name and a .vmoptions extension. It contains one VM parameter per line for the launcher.

It is also possible to add a VM options file directly to the distribution tree, in this case, please select the Do not generate a vmoptions file option, otherwise the file in the distribution tree takes precedence over the generated file and a warning is printed.

  VM options files are not supported for Java 6 on macOS. Any VM options that you specify on this screen and that are not already contained in the fixed VM parameters configured in the Java invocation will be merged into the Info.plist file of the application bundle. To navigate to the Info.plist file inside the bundle, select the launcher bundle file choose in a finder window on macOS, choose Action->Show Package Contents from the menu and open the Contents directory. The Info.plist file is an XML file and can be edited by the user.

For Java 7 on macOS, VM options file are fully supported.
