Passing java options to jetty.sh

Question

Normally, I'll start jetty (version 8) using this:

 java -jar -Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -server -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC start.jar

But now I'm using jetty.sh to run jetty on startup.
Does anyone know how can I pass the above java options to jetty? Is it through the jetty.xml file? If so, what is the syntax?

Solution

On line 43 of jetty.sh you will see.

# JAVA_OPTIONS
#   Extra options to pass to the JVM

Just put this after it:

JAVA_OPTIONS="-Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -server -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC"

Shouldn't you use {JAVA_OPTIONS="$JAVA_OPTIONS [options]"} Or does it not matter because they are options and don't overwrite exiting args?
