Gunnar:

You'd be in a real world of hurt if a VM could get to OS specific
items like virtual memory handling! ;-)

When the Java VM hits it's max mem setting, that's it.  The end of the
world.  No more memory.  Run java.exe to see what the various settings
are for the VM (-mx is the arg you're most interested in at this
point).

Now, if the VM wants 128M of RAM and you only have 64 "real" meg, the
VM will ask the OS and the OS will just give it the memory.  The VM
doesn't care if it's virtual (from disk), just like any other
program.  Now, the WinTel platform is not know for having OS's with
good virtual memory handling, so that's why you may be having trouble
when swapping.
