    MAVEN_OPTS : How to increase JVM memory

    JBehave

    Introduction

    In this post, we will see how to increase JVM memory using the environment variable MAVEN_OPTS. MAVEN_OPTS is the Java runtime options used when Maven is run. Sometimes, while running a large number of JBehave stories we might get OutOfMemoryError at runtime.

    For example, we might get something like this:

    Caused by: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

    What is MAVEN_OPTS?

    MAVEN_OPTS is an environment variable. It defines options for the JVM that executes Maven. We can set/increase JVM memory with this variable. We can set it according to our operating system.

    Setting MAVEN_OPTS

    For example, on *nix system we can use

    export MAVEN_OPTS=

    On Windows, we can use

    set MAVEN_OPTS=

    If you are getting an OutOfMemoryException when running maven, we can try increasing the JVM memory to resolve this error.

    MAVEN_OPTS="-Xmx512M -XX:MaxPermSize=512m"

    This will allocate 512MB of RAM to Maven.

    On Windows Operating system

    We can set or increase memory in many ways.

    For example: using the windows command prompt

    /> set MAVEN_OPTS=”-Xmx512M -XX:MaxPermSize=512m”

    We may also set the  variable  in Environment variables in

    Control Panel >> System >> Advanced >>  Environment Variables…

     

    Environment_Variable_Windows

     

    To enter new variable click on ‘New’ under user variables, then enter MAVEN_OPTS as the variable name and the value

    "-Xmx512M -XX:MaxPermSize=512m"

    If you already have set the environment variable, edit it to increase the memory. Also, note that the value 512M is chosen for example sake. The most suitable value depends and varies with the environment.
