java option (-Xss -Xmx)

843829Aug 9 2005
Hi! I need help to understand exactly the meaning of java option.
-Xmx option: I read on Java Spec that the size to set must be a multiple of 1024; what happens if set value is not a multiple of 1024?
-Xss option: set thread stack size; what does it mean exactly? That each thread can allocate only that amount of memory, or that each block of memory allocated will be that size?
Thanks in advance,
even a clarifing link will be a nice help!
