-c (--create-config)

The -c option generates a brief sample configuration file (in XML format) containing only those configuration parameters that are essential for creating virtual machine images. You can use this file as a template to create the final configuration file for your virtual machine.

Note:

You can use the --create-full-config option to create a detailed sample configuration file.

Syntax

java -jar jrockitve-imagetool.jar -c [config_file.xml] [vm_name]

Note:

For information about the syntax conventions, see Documentation Conventions for Command-Line Syntax.
