I think MAVEN_OPTS
would be most appropriate for you. See here: http://maven.apache.org/configure.html
In Unix:
Add the
MAVEN_OPTS
environment variable to specify JVM properties, e.g.export MAVEN_OPTS="-Xms256m -Xmx512m"
. This environment variable can be used to supply extra options to Maven.
In Win, you need to set environment variable via the dialogue box
Add … environment variable by opening up the system properties (
WinKey + Pause
),… In the same dialog, add theMAVEN_OPTS
environment variable in the user variables to specify JVM properties, e.g. the value-Xms256m -Xmx512m
. This environment variable can be used to supply extra options to Maven.
