Maven heap space

java, maven

Solution

You can run the `mvn` command, so its irrelevant wether you are using a `.sh` or `.bat` file. For future reference you should keep in mind though that .bat files are for Windows, not Linux. Anyway, in the same shell you are running your mvn command in, do this first:

export MAVEN_OPTS="-Xmx512M"

Then execute your `mvn` command. Bump the number up if you still run out of memory.

Problem

When I am running `mvn clean install` for my build on linux RHEL 6. I'm getting the following error: `java.lang.outOfMemoryError heap space`. I have read all the articles on internet. On my machine I dont have a file called `mvn.sh`, I only have a file `mvn.bat`. Where can I set the export MAVEN_OPTS command?
