Just another software blog. Mainly about Java and any related JVM language and framework). JAVA OPTS, how to use them. For most of you this is probably a very silly post, but after five years of experience I was still shocked by something about the infamous JAVA OPTS, also known as the “-D” system properties…. JAVA OPTS is only the name under which some applications, servers, etc… group a few of these. Properties to be passed into Java when it gets executed. This is the (simplest) class (ever):.
