This is an issue for the launcher template generation, not admin guide
documentation.  Reassigning to GT3 core.

PLEASE NOTE: Adding -Xquickstart to the launch script may cause the JVM to fail 
to initialize unless it is IBM JDK 1.3.1 or IBM JDK 1.4.1.  SUN JDK 1.4.2 
definitely fails initialization with this directive specified. We have no 
experience with additional vendor's JDK's.

Does setting the "IBM_JAVA_OPTIONS" environment variable to "-Xquickstart" work 
instead of passing that as a command line option? This would be a better 
solution as it would still work nicely with Sun and other JVMs.

Subject: Re:  Large Performance Improvement for Command Line Clients

I spoke to our java team and they believe it can be configured as an 
environment variable. Furthermore, they also think that the IBM JDK will 
ignore invalid environment variables if the specific version of java does 
not support a given option. They do not know how other vendor JVM's 
respond to invalid environment variables. 

I have not tested -Xquickstart as an environment variable. Where, in 
Globus Toolkit, do you specify the IBM_JAVA_OPTIONS?  If this is 
configurable (and not as part of a build script option) I might be able to 
test it for you.  I do not have the luxury of re-installing or rebuilding 
GT3 but could test this if I had only to modify a configuration file and 
restart.

I don't think you need to modify anything for the test. Just need to set the 
env. variable before executing any of the command line scripts.

I updated the launcher scripts to set IBM_JAVA_OPTIONS env. variable. Committed 
the update to cvs (trunk).
