Configuring Java containers using Amazon Toolkit for Eclipse

The Container/JVM Options panel lets you fine-tune the behavior of the Java Virtual Machine on your Amazon EC2 instances and enable or disable Amazon S3 log rotation. You can use the Amazon Toolkit for Eclipse to configure your container information. For more information on the options available for Tomcat environments, see Configuring your Tomcat environment.

Note

You can modify your configuration settings with zero downtime by swapping the CNAME for your environments. For more information, see Blue/Green deployments with Elastic Beanstalk.
