Christopher Tubbs commented on ACCUMULO-2732:
---------------------------------------------
I'd rather not see the README become a tutorial on maven, especially if it
starts making assumptions about a user's build environment (maven version,
maven's own resource requirements, or jvm execution paths, etc.). Even in build
instructions, we have to make some assumptions that a user is familiar with the
build tools or can debug build tool problems with documentation on the build
tool itself. MAVEN_OPTS is not an accumulo build option, it's a maven
configuration option, so I don't think it should go here.
I agree with [~busbey] that this would be more suitable in a contributor guide
(specifically, one on the website, or in a wiki).
> Update README build instructions for more Maven heap
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ACCUMULO-2732
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-2732
> Project: Accumulo
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: docs
> Reporter: Bill Havanki
> Priority: Trivial
> Labels: newbie
> Fix For: 1.6.1, 1.7.0
>
>
> As the Accumulo code base grows, Maven needs more heap available in order to
> build. Currently, 256 MB appears to be enough, which is more than the default.
> The README should be updated to suggest configuring Maven with more heap,
> e.g.: add {{MAVEN_OPTS=-Xmx256m}} to .mavenrc. This will help out folks who
> aren't Maven experts get a successful build.
