Maven. Runner

Delegate IDE build/run actions to Maven

Select this checkbox to build, run, and debug code through Maven. It might be helpful if you have a configuration that changes the compilation on the fly, or your build generates an artifact with a custom layout.

For more information, refer to Maven projects.

Run in background

Check this option to perform run as a background task.

VM Options

Specify VM options that will be passed to the selected JRE.

When specifying JVM options, follow these rules:

• Use spaces to separate individual options, for example, -client -ea -Xmx1024m.

• If an option includes spaces, enclose the spaces or the argument that contains spaces in double quotes, for example, some" "arg or "some arg".

• If an option includes double quotes (as part of the argument), escape the double quotes using backslashes, for example, -Dmy.prop=\"quoted_value\".

• You can pass environment variable values to custom Java properties. For example, if you define a variable MY_ENV_VAR, you can pass it to the foo property as follows:

  -Dfoo=${MY_ENV_VAR}

JRE

Select the JRE that will be used to run the Maven goals.
