Hi Marius, Thanks for your comments. That's what I thought.
To me this sounds like something that really should be fixed in the tool as presumably this affects every deployer.
Hmm. The 'tool' would be java. As far as I have seen java is never/seldom in the tool dependencies. Hence, the system's java installation is used for which we do not know if it is Sun/OpenJDK or which version it is (in addition the installation will likely not change on production systems for a long time). So I guess fixing this in java would not help here in reasonable time anyway. So, it seems that the best option is to: - switching back to _JAVA_OPTIONS (which seems to be implemented also on usegalaxy.org) - handling the output in each java tool Are there any guidelines for wrapping java based applications (or other programming languages)? - add java to dependencies? I think this should be done, or? - if yes: is there a favored conda package? Cheers, Matthias P.S. I just added java to my list of despicable programming languages.

Hi Matthias,
if a tool prints something to the stderr that is indeed considered to indicate a failure, and it's the default mostly because we don't want to break legacy tools that make this assumption. If you include a profile version in your tool or change your command section to <command detect_errors="exit_code"></commands> this will more reasonably determine if a tool failed based on the exit code.
Best, Marius

Dear list,
I'm struggling to set java options for galaxy tools. Currently I use `<env file="job_setup_script.sh"/> in my job_conf.xml and in the script I explored two ways to set java options:
`_JAVA_OPTIONS="-Xmx5G -Xms1G -Djava.io.tmpdir=/work/songalax/tmp"`
But then java prints "Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: ..." to stderr which is be interpreted as error by some tools. If I'm correct this is currently the default .. I have seen this happening, but can't remember the name of the tool.
So I switched to this 'trick':
`alias java='java -Xmx5G -Xms1G -Djava.io.tmpdir=/work/songalax/tmp'`
but the problem is that the tool script is called and not sourced and therefore aliases are not used (could this be changed?). Furthermore, for tools which explicitly set the java options my settings would be ignored anyway (an example is the MSGFPlusAdapter which calles `java -Xmx3500m` .. so my -Xmx is overwritten .. I passing GALAXY_MEMORY_MB to the corresponding parameter might be a solution for this tool).
Any thought or suggestions on how to set the parameters in a production environment are very welcome.
Cheers, Matthias
