Increase memory of tomcat7 maven plugin?

Question

I want to start an embedded tomcat7 instance directly from maven using the tomcat7-maven-plugin. This is working fine, but the Tomcat started doesn\'t seem to have enough me

Answer 1

This one worked for me:

    org.codehaus.cargo
    cargo-maven2-plugin
    ...
    
        ...
        
            standalone
            ...
            
                -Xmx4096m
            
        
        ...
    

It starts up my tomcat8 in a new JVM with argument "-Xmx4096m".
