Before using the Maven SkyVault SDK, you need to set your
MAVEN_OPTS environment variable to a suitable value using the
correct mechanism for your system.
Setting the MAVEN_OPTS environment variable ensures that adequate
memory is available to run SkyVault and your applications built with the Maven SkyVault
SDK.
-
On Mac OS X you can edit your .bash_profile file and add
the following:
export MAVEN_OPTS="-Xms1024m -Xmx4096m -XX:PermSize=1024m"
Restart the terminal session or run source .bash_profile to activate the environment variable.
-
On Linux you can edit your .bashrc file and add the
following:
export MAVEN_OPTS="-Xms1024m -Xmx4096m -XX:PermSize=1024m"
Restart the terminal session or run source .bashrc to activate the environment variable.
- On Windows, the exact procedure for setting environment variables varies depending on the version of Windows you are running. For example, the procedure for Windows XP can be found in the Microsoft Knowledgebase.
Your MAVEN_OPTS environment variable is now set. Feel free to
increase the specified values if required, for example, if you get "out of memory"
errors when running your projects.
