title: JVM stops at 2GB under windows Server 2008 R2
body: <p>I have a problem with a java application. Using a 64bit JVM (1.60.0_20) under windows server 2008 r2 (64bit), the application hangs at 2GB allocated memory, it will not go beyond that mark even after changing the JVM settings to allocate more (-Xmx5000m) and waiting for more than 12 hours. This is on an EC2 instance with 7.5GB available memory.</p>
