How to run a java project with vm arguments from command line?

Question

I\'m writing a maven plugin which has to initialize another java project with specific VM arguments. according to the exec:java, they only take in arguments but not VMarguments,

Answer 1

You can't supply extra VM arguments if you use Maven's exec:java plugin because it runs in the same VM (i.e. it's already been initialized). You'll need to use exec:exec, and construct the java command line yourself.
