JVM Options List - still being maintained post Oracle?

Is the JVM Options List still being maintained anywhere? It seems to have disappeared from Oracle's website, but luckily the Wayback Machine has a copy.

Solution

  • Use java -XX:+PrintFlagsFinal to print available -XX options. More diagnostic and experimental options can be added to list with following options: -XX:+UnlockDiagnosticVMOptions -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions (for Sun) -XX:+UnlockInternalVMOptions (for JRockit)

    NOTE: Current version of javac docs for Java 8 contains list of most -XX options: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/tools/windows/java.html
