Hi,
Is there a way to set JVM Arguments via config file for BM or is this only possible if we run BM from command line?
Thanks,

Re: How to set Xms and other JVM Arguments
You can set those in shortcut, but you basically still have to run it as you would from command line. (...javaw -Xmx6G -Xms6G....)
Note that you'll need to set some arguments to lock locale, specifically -Duser.language=en
That being said - I'm not sure I see much benefit in setting Xms (as opposed to Xmx, which you can set from bookmap UI under "Settings" menu), as that's the initial memory allocation (not maximal). I mean, I see a few cases, like if you have some other memory-hungry process that could use up the memory that bookmap suddenly needs at some point, but that's a pretty exotic case.
