[Building Sakai] "OutOfMemory: Permgen......" error deploying sakai 2.9.1

[Matthew Jones]

These are the options that should be enough to *start* Sakai on any system.
You can either put them in a start script for Sakai or in a file called
setenv.sh in the bin directory and they will be used as Aaron mentioned,
they look similar to yours. I start it on one with only 2.5G of RAM with
those options and use it fine for dev purposes.

For a production system you would need a little more -Xmx and possibly
-XX:MaxPermSize. (Though that should be more static)
