Answer 1

You are able to specify the option in the MAVEN_OPTS environment variable (see http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-configuring-maven.html). Once this is done, you don't have to repeat it. Configuring the environment variable depends on your system. However this will affect all maven runs within your environment. Maybe it's possible for you to enable different environments, so that only the project you actually want to build in parallel is running in such an environment.
