How to control VM arguments for maven-jetty-plugin?

Question

How to set VM arguments for Jetty run from maven-jetty-plugin?

For example, I need to pass -Xmx arguments to Jetty run by the mvn jetty:run

Answer 1

With more recent versions of the maven-jetty-plugin, you can use mvn:run-forked. The option jvmArgs will allow you to set -Xmx etc.

For more information, see: jetty:run-forked : Running an unassembled webapp in a separate jvm.

I think the original issue was Starting Jetty in separate JVM.
