DBpedia Spotlight Statistical command line arguments

Question

I found this article: DBpedia Statistical Spotlight installation

I dont understand this line (broken up to separate the command line arguments):

4. run java 
       -Xmx10G 
       -Xms10G 
       -jar 
       dbpedia-spotlight-0.7.jar 
       ~/pathToModels/en/ 
       http://localhost:2222/rest

Can anyone explain these command line arguments to me? I'm using NetBeans IDE and Glassfish server

Answer 1

java                               --name of the program you are running (you will need a JRE)
       -Xmx10G                     --maximum memory to be allocated 10GB  
       -Xms10G                     --minimum memory to be allocated
       -jar                        --run the program from a jar file
       dbpedia-spotlight-0.7.jar   --the jar file containing the program
       ~/pathToModels/en/          --argument 1 to be passed to the program
       http://localhost:2222/rest  --argument 2, looks like the URL on which your server will run
