Run application via gradlew with -Xmx and -Xms

Question

I have an application. I run it via

gradlew run-app

Or debug

gradlew debug-app

It works. How do I pass \'-Xm

Answer 1

Add this in your gradle.properties file :

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2000m

From here

org.gradle.jvmargs

Specifies the jvmargs used for the daemon process. The setting is particularly useful for tweaking memory settings. At the moment the default settings are pretty generous with regards to memory.

edit : my answer what about the gradle daemon jvm, not the app jvm. You have to use the jvmArgs property

The extra arguments to use to launch the JVM for the process. Does not include system properties and the minimum/maximum heap size.

Answer 2

Using application plugin one can use applicationDefaultJvmArgs property

apply plugin: 'application'    
applicationDefaultJvmArgs = ["-Xms1024m", "-Xmx2048m"]

The arguments will be applied to run task and to start script of your application
