Maven: Xmx (maximum Java heap size) seems outdated

Sorry if this is the wrong place to bring this up, but I don't know where to discuss an individual package.

I am a Java developer who recently switched to Arch Linux. I love my new Arch system, but I often experience failures in Maven builds with "out of memory" errors.

After some research I found the reason: The Arch Linux maven package installs an additional file restricting the Maven memory to 512M (https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/comm … ages/maven).

This seems like an outdated setting in 2019. From the SVN history it seems it has been there since the initial commit of the package 10 years ago.

Could you remove this?

It sounds like a reasonable request. Please file a bug to https://bugs.archlinux.org/
