Description

I use the jvm option "-Xmx1024m" to execute maven 2.0.9. I've got heavy integration tests.
When the process surefire forks, it does not use this option. His maximum heap size is only 65 MB.

Thanks you, but I don't know how to use it.

I am still thinking it's a strange.
The following lines are extracted from the documentation.

jvm Option to specify the jvm (or path to the java executable) to use with the forking options. For the default, the jvm will be the same as the one used to run Maven.
Type: java.lang.String
Since: 2.1
Required: No
Expression: $

Unknown macro: {jvm}

<configuration>
  <argLine>-Xmx1024m</argLine>
</configuration>

should do.

For the default, the jvm will be the same as the one used to run Maven.

In this context, "jvm" refers merely to the executable used to launch the JVM, this does not include the options for the JVM.

so, should the surefire plugin also inherit the Maven options? I think there's value in having a separate environment instead.
