I was asked in the forum to file this as a bug report: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=244738

I am a Java developer who recently switched to Arch Linux. I love my new Arch system, but I often experience failures in Maven builds with "out of memory" errors.

After some research I found the reason: The Arch Linux maven package installs an additional file restricting the Maven memory to 512M (https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/comm … ages/maven).

This seems like an outdated setting in 2019. From the SVN history it seems it has been there since the initial commit of the package 10 years ago.

Could you remove this?

I agree. Setting MAVEN_OPTS like this overrides the per-project setting in <project>/.mvn/jvm.config, which makes for some very confusing problems.
