[Biojava-dev] Putting JVM options in a Manifest file??

I have also looked for ways to do the same thing for setting a larger heap space and couldn't find anything. I think Sun wants you to follow the jnlp/web start route. The other problem I ran into last year(filed a bug) is that if you don't have a GUI then javaws won't start. I was trying to run on a centos server instance on amazon ec2 and couldn't run via javaws because no graphics. I tried setting to headless and all the other old tricks but no luck. Not sure if that is still the case. 

Let me know if you figure something out.
