Comments
This problem is on all platforms. Linux and Mac share the same bash script. Windows is a C++ file and will require more work. I am adding the ability to set the Java heap to the Java Packager for example: javapackager -J-Xmx<size>. The default is 256M, I'm going to bump it up to 512M. I am also adding -J-Xdebug:<port number>. This is only a detail that the developer of the Java Packager needs to know but it's there. Also you can pass any Java argument to the JVM with -J<option>.
