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

The param mentioned here : Maven jetty plugin didn't work for me .

Maven version : Apache Maven 3.0.3

Jetty Maven plugin version : jetty-maven-plugin:8.1.10.v20130312

This worked :

MAVEN_OPTS='-Xmx4096m -Xms4096m'
export MAVEN_OPTS
mvn jetty:run &
