Mac Java Help

I have seen in numerous posts to add this line to the Java specs

-XX:MaxPermSize=128M

When I do this i get this error,

Unrecognized VM option 'permSize=128'
Could not create the Java virtual machine.

What I am doing is going to the options tab, clicking on advanced, clicking entering the line just as typed and then hitting exit then clicking launch. At that point, it starts to launch, then gives me this error and locks up at that point.

Is there a different way I can insert this code?

Here is the paste bin http://pastebin.com/FExSfV4B

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try putting it in quotes:

"-XX:MaxPermSize=128M"

Not sure why, but from the error it doesn't seem to look at it as one option, quotes should rectify that.

Will try that tonight.[DOUBLEPOST=1363107030][/DOUBLEPOST]On that same note, can I allocate more memory to make it run better?

 

[Azgult]

Assigning more memory to PermSize won't make anything run better. It either runs at all or it doesn't.

ok, cool.

Does this PermSize option help with this error on servers as well? I have a seperate post explaining an issue I have run into here:

I have additional options that I have tried with great results .. sortof .. (server-side java options only - haven't touched client options ever)...
