Tom,
Do you know any code in GlassFish that assumes user.dir to be
domain_dir/config? Since we *want* GlassFish to be embeddable, we should
fix such such code if any. I am not worried about those JVM memory
settings as user can always pass them while invoking java command
explicitly.
Vince,
The bootstrapping done by start-domain command is not very different
from what happens in "java -jar glassfish.jar."
