Plugin2 does not explicitly set a heap size for the spawned JVM. Currently, the default max heap size looks like 126M for a 64-bit process (as I've measured it with JVisualVM), but I can get a more authoritative answer if necessary.

We are aware of a discrepancy in the text anti-aliasing defaults, and we believe we have a fix for it. Please stay tuned for our next developer preview.
