Pass jam args to surefire on the command line

[John Kramer]

Hi guys,

Quick question.  Is there a way to pass arguments to the JVMs that surefire 
starts from the maven command line.  For example, I can set the JVM max memory 
to the surefire JVM in a pom.xml:

                        <plugin>
                                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                                <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
                                <version>2.8.1</version>
                                <configuration>
                                        <argLine>-Xmx6144M</argLine>
                                </configuration>
                        </plugin>

But is there a way I can get rid of the configuration and instead pass those 
arguments from the command line tool mvn?

Thanks in advance for your help!
