[java] java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space in Maven

When I run maven test, java.lang.OutOfMemoryError happens. I google it for solutions and have tried to export MAVEN_OPTS=-Xmx1024m, but it did not work.

Setting the Xmx options using MAVEN_OPTS does work, it does configure the JVM used to start Maven. That being said, the maven-surefire-plugin forks a new JVM by default, and your MAVEN_OPTS are thus not passed.

To configure the sizing of the JVM used by the maven-surefire-plugin, you would either have to:

  • change the forkMode to never (which is be a not so good idea because Maven won't be isolated from the test) ~or~
  • use the argLine parameter (the right way):

In the later case, something like this:

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

But I have to say that I tend to agree with Stephen here, there is very likely something wrong with one of your test and I'm not sure that giving more memory is the right solution to "solve" (hide?) your problem.
