See the
documentation of the java launcher.
I don't know what happens if you specify "-Xms100". According to the docs, that would mean 100 bytes, but it must be a multiple of 1024. In any case, it's not right and if you mean 100 megabytes,
you should specify "-Xms100
m".
The default depends on the operating system. For Sun Java 5 on Windows it is 2 MB according to the documentation.
