Creating Custom Startup Parameters File

The startup launchers for Oxygen XML Editor and its executable internal tools (Tree Editor, XML Schema Regular Expressions Builder, Large File Viewer, SVN Client, Compare Directories, and Compare Files) include a default .vmoptions file that contain some startup parameters (such the -Xmx parameter, which is used for allocating memory for that particular application). You can edit the parameters in these .vmoptions files so that the applications will launch with your desired values. However, if you re-install the application, install an update for the application, or deploy it to other users or machines, those parameters will be reset to their default values.

To avoid resetting user-defined startup parameters, you can create custom .vmoptions files and the application and the executable tools will automatically include your custom parameters at startup. The following custom files are recognized by the application and the executable tools:

• custom_commons.vmoptions - The parameters and their values of this file will be included in all the startup launchers.
• custom_<app name>.vmoptions - The <app name> is the name of the executable application or tool (for example, custom_diffFiles.vmoptions for the Compare Files tool). The parameters and their values of this file will be included in the startup launcher for this particular executable.

To be recognized and included, these custom startup parameter files must be saved in the installation directory of Oxygen XML Editor.
