The enviroment variable MAVEN_OPTS is the answer. The string content of MAVEN_OPTS is passed to JVM (java.exe).
export MAVEN_OPTS=....set MAVEN_OPTS=...For example: on Windows
set MAVEN_OPTS="-Xmx1024m"sets the heap size of the Maven process to 1024mb.Update (01.04.2013): Pass it directly to Jetty.
Matthew Farwell (please upvote his answer to give him credit) comes with the solution of using a forked JVM process to run Jetty which is a new feature of the Jetty plugin. This is a better solution as the former runs inside same JVM process as Maven (thus shares memory).
