# Java Options Framework
The Java Options Framework contributes arbitrary Java options to the application at runtime.

Note: passing Java options using a `JAVA_OPTS` environment variable is not supported and will not work.

<table>
  <tr>
    <td><strong>Detection Criterion</strong></td><td><tt>java_opts</tt> set in the <tt>config/java_opts.yml</tt> file</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><strong>Tags</strong></td><td><tt>java-opts</tt></td>
  </tr>
</table>
Tags are printed to standard output by the buildpack detect script


## Configuration
For general information on configuring the buildpack, refer to [Configuration and Extension][].

The framework can be configured by modifying the `config/java_opts.yml` file.

| Name | Description
| ---- | -----------
| `java_opts` | The Java options to use when running the application.  All values are used without modification when invoking the JVM. The options are specified as a single YAML scalar in plain style or enclosed in single or double quotes.
