How do you increase Java memory with the Atlassian SDK?

[James Star]

Hello,

building plugins with the Atlassian SDK, but need to increase the Java memory.

Does anyone know how?

Thank you.

You can make these settings persistent in your pom.xml:

<plugin>
<groupId>com.atlassian.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jira-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${amps.version}</version>
<extensions>true</extensions>
<configuration>
<productVersion>${jira.version}</productVersion>
<productDataVersion>${jira.version}</productDataVersion>
<jvmArgs>-Xms1g -Xmx2g -XX:MaxPermSize=1g -XX:-UseGCOverheadLimit -server</jvmArgs>
</configuration>
</plugin>

The new Atlassian community forum seems to have corrupted the XML above, here it is encoded correctly:

<plugin>
    <groupId>com.atlassian.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-jira-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>${amps.version}</version>
    <extensions>true</extensions>
    <configuration>
        <productVersion>${jira.version}</productVersion>
        <productDataVersion>${jira.version}</productDataVersion>
        <jvmArgs>-Xms1g -Xmx2g -XX:MaxPermSize=1g -XX:-UseGCOverheadLimit -server</jvmArgs>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

Try the --jvmargs option.

Hi Jobin,

I tried -jvmargs this morning with no results and then after some further adjustments, the following worked: atlas-run --version 4.2 --jvmargs '-Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m'

Thank you.

Works, but I had to use double quotes:

--jvmargs "-Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m"

On Windows 10, I had to use

--jvmargs="-Xmx..."

(no spaces)

Probably better to to it on the system environment variable MAVEN_OPTS , this way it will work for all your developed plugins

example:
