Description
Theme and Widgetset compilation: The Java 17 JVM won't start due to use of the newly prohibited option "MaxPermSize" in the compilation scripts.
Unrecognized VM option 'MaxPermSize=512M'
Can those scripts (presumably in the Vaadin plugin for Eclipse) be upgraded? Or is there a way for the developer to access/override them?
