1 标准参数
标准参数（-），所有的JVM实现都必须实现这些参数的功能，而且向后兼容；
通过命令 java即可查看
如下
where options include: -d32 use a 32-bit data model if available -d64 use a 64-bit data model if available -server to select the "server" VM The default VM is server, because you are running on a server-class machine. -cp <class search path of directories and zip/jar files> -classpath <class search path of directories and zip/jar files> A : separated list of directories, JAR archives, and ZIP archives to search for class files. -D<name>=<value> set a system property -verbose:[class|gc|jni] enable verbose output -version print product version and exit 2 非标准参数（-X）
非标准参数（-X），默认jvm实现这些参数的功能，但是并不保证所有jvm实现都满足，且不保证向后兼容；
通过命令 java -X，如下
-Xmixed mixed mode execution (default) -Xint interpreted mode execution only -Xbootclasspath:<directories and zip/jar files separated by :> set search path for bootstrap classes and resources -Xbootclasspath/a:<directories and zip/jar files separated by :> append to end of bootstrap class path -Xbootclasspath/p:<directories and zip/jar files separated by :> prepend in front of bootstrap class path -Xdiag show additional diagnostic messages -Xnoclassgc disable class garbage collection -Xincgc enable incremental garbage collection -Xloggc:<file> log GC status to a file with time stamps -Xbatch disable background compilation -Xms<size> set initial Java heap size -Xmx<size> set maximum Java heap size -Xss<size> set java thread stack size -Xprof output cpu profiling data -Xfuture enable strictest checks, anticipating future default -Xrs reduce use of OS signals by Java/VM (see documentation) -Xcheck:jni perform additional checks for JNI functions -Xshare:off do not attempt to use shared class data -Xshare:auto use shared class data if possible (default) -Xshare:on require using shared class data, otherwise fail. -XshowSettings show all settings and continue -XshowSettings:all show all settings and continue -XshowSettings:vm show all vm related settings and continue -XshowSettings:properties show all property settings and continue -XshowSettings:locale show all locale related settings and continue 3 非Stable参数（-XX）
非Stable参数（-XX），此类参数各个jvm实现会有所不同，将来可能会随时取消，需要慎重使用（但是，这些参数往往是非常有用的）. 通过命令java -XX:+PrintFlagsFinal
[Global flags] uintx AdaptiveSizeDecrementScaleFactor = 4 {product} uintx AdaptiveSizeMajorGCDecayTimeScale = 10 {product} uintx AdaptiveSizePausePolicy = 0 {product} uintx AdaptiveSizePolicyCollectionCostMargin = 50 {product} uintx AdaptiveSizePolicyInitializingSteps = 20 {product} uintx AdaptiveSizePolicyOutputInterval = 0 {product} uintx AdaptiveSizePolicyWeight = 10 {product} uintx AdaptiveSizeThroughPutPolicy = 0 {product} uintx AdaptiveTimeWeight = 25 {product} bool AdjustConcurrency = false {product} bool AggressiveOpts = false {product} intx AliasLevel = 3 {C2 product} bool AlignVector = false {C2 product} intx AllocateInstancePrefetchLines = 1 {product} intx AllocatePrefetchDistance = 192 {product} intx AllocatePrefetchInstr = 0 {product} intx AllocatePrefetchLines = 4 {product} intx AllocatePrefetchStepSize = 64 {product} intx AllocatePrefetchStyle = 1 {product} bool AllowJNIEnvProxy = false {product} bool AllowNonVirtualCalls = false {product} bool AllowParallelDefineClass = false {product} bool AllowUserSignalHandlers = false {product} bool AlwaysActAsServerClassMachine = false {product} bool AlwaysCompileLoopMethods = false {product} bool AlwaysLockClassLoader = false {product} bool AlwaysPreTouch = false {product} bool AlwaysRestoreFPU = false {product} bool AlwaysTenure = false {product} bool AssertOnSuspendWaitFailure = false {product} bool AssumeMP = true {product} intx AutoBoxCacheMax = 128 {C2 product} uintx AutoGCSelectPauseMillis = 5000 {product} intx BCEATraceLevel = 0 {product} intx BackEdgeThreshold = 100000 {pd product}
也可以通过-XX:+PrintCommandLineFlags 。这个参数的作用是显示出VM初始化完毕后所有跟最初的默认值不同的参数及它们的值。
这个参数至少在Sun JDK 5上已经开始支持，Oracle/Sun JDK 6以及Oracle JDK 7上也可以使用。
再下来，-XX:+PrintFlagsInitial 。这个参数显示在处理参数之前所有可设置的参数及它们的值，然后直接退出程序。
