While testing with maven "java heap space" error

[Yakup Klein]

While executing a single test everything is OK. But when I execute multiple tests in Netbeans using Alt=F6 I get java heap space error. I tried to increase heaps space by using -Xmx512m but when I look the heaps space with Java VisualVM the heap space still stays on 64mb. I'm trying to increase the heap space of org.apache.maven.surefire.SurefireBooter but until now without success.
I also put <forkMode>pertest</forkMode> <argLine>-Xms512m -Xmx512m</argLine> </configuration> in the maven POM but still without luck.
Know someone a trick to increase the heap space of maven module org.apache.maven.surefire.SurefireBooter?

Try setting the MAVEN_OPTS env var to the JVM options you want. Example (for Linux):

export MAVEN_OPTS='-Xms512m -Xmx512m'

(Look at the script that starts Maven, it uses this env var to pass JVM options to java)

I think this is an Maven Netbeans issue. All the changes in the mvn.bat file of maven does not effect and my test with alt+F6 still giving java heap space error. I'm working on an XP machine. Does notbeans not have IDE options to let start maven with more heap space. I know I have to use -Xmx 512m -Xms512m but why is netbeans not using it and where do I have to put this options?

That makes this a NetBeans question, moving...
