[oXygen-user] vmoptions reset after oom-exception

[Oxygen XML Editor Support]

Hi,

I've added your vote for a .vmoptions file stored in the user profile.

While you can't specify a different .vmoptions file (it must have the 
same name as the launcher), you can duplicate both the launcher file 
('oxygen15.2') and the .vmoptions file ('oxygen15.2.vmoptions'), rename 
them similarly and then modify the duplicate .vmoptions file. This way 
you have another Oxygen launcher with a different set of VM options.

Note that if Oxygen is already running and you try to start the other 
launcher, it won't have any effect. You'll first have to quit the 
running session of Oxygen.

Regards,
Adrian
