+// There are three command line options related to the young gen size:
+// NewSize, MaxNewSize and NewRatio (There is also -Xmn, but that is
+// just a short form for NewSize==MaxNewSize). G1 will use its internal
+// heuristics to calculate the actual young gen size, so these options
+// basically only limit the range within which G1 can pick a young gen
+// size. Also, these are general options taking byte sizes. G1 will
+// internally work with a number of regions instead. So, some rounding
+// will occur.
+//
+// If nothing related to the the young gen size is set on the command
+// line we should allow the young gen to be between
+// G1DefaultMinNewGenPercent and G1DefaultMaxNewGenPercent of the
+// heap size. This means that every time the heap size changes the
+// limits for the young gen size will be updated.
+//
+// If only -XX:NewSize is set we should use the specified value as the
+// minimum size for young gen. Still using G1DefaultMaxNewGenPercent
+// of the heap as maximum.
+//
+// If only -XX:MaxNewSize is set we should use the specified value as the
+// maximum size for young gen. Still using G1DefaultMinNewGenPercent
+// of the heap as minimum.
+//
+// If -XX:NewSize and -XX:MaxNewSize are both specified we use these values.
+// No updates when the heap size changes. There is a special case when
+// NewSize==MaxNewSize. This is interpreted as "fixed" and will use a
+// different heuristic for calculating the collection set when we do mixed
+// collection.
+//
+// If only -XX:NewRatio is set we should use the specified ratio of the heap
+// as both min and max. This will be interpreted as "fixed" just like the
+// NewSize==MaxNewSize case above. But we will update the min and max
+// everytime the heap size changes.
+//
+// NewSize and MaxNewSize override NewRatio. So, NewRatio is ignored if it is
+// combined with either NewSize or MaxNewSize. (A warning message is printed.)
