Passing JVM Arguments to External Tools [message #20237]

I have an Out of Memory Error running ANT question but perhaps this should
be generalized. How do we supply JVM arguments to external tools? If we can
solve that we can solve the show-stopping OOME we get launching the ANT
tool. ANT_OPTS gets passed as the JVM args in ant.bat or ant.sh so there is
nothing magic there.

The answer appears to be that you don't pass JVM args to external tools but
rather set the -vmargs on Eclipse itself.

Dangerous to generalize... :-)

Each external tool might deal with arguments in a different way.
Most external tools will not even have anything to with a JVM.

Ant is currently unique in that it is executed within the same JVM as
Eclipse.
