Hi jpeps,
Well, I did some more testing... I downloaded
MyLibrary.jar and started playing with that, when it dawned on me that I had been tweaking the
wrong script file for Java applications...
I had been editing the
application_x-jar script, when I should have been looking at the
application_x-java-archive script. So, once I got that sorted out, I tested the tweak on your app and achieved a 41.5% reduction in memory usage with the minimum adjustment @
-Xmx2m
Then I tested my old, but favorite Java application. Unfortunately the tweak did not work... even at minimum setting. It was kind of weird in that the program would open, but all I got was the window, frame, a couple of buttons, but the rest of the interface was missing. I checked the
MANIFEST file, and it turns out that it was created with Java-1.5. and not Java 1.4 like I thought originally. So then... I tested another Java app which
did turn out to be version 1.4 and it worked with the tweak... --go figure.
At the very least, I now know that the tweak does not depend on a particular version of Java.... more likely it has to do with the quality of the code.
