IDEA-30647 Allow Developer to pass JVM args while Running Ant build

Issue is visible to: All Users

Currently there is no provision to pass JVM args while running Ant, This restricts the way in which Ant is Run/ Debugged

Please provide a dialogue box where the developer is able to configure or enter JVM arguments to be passed while running Ant

Best regards,
Parthi

Is there any update on this issue? This has suddenly become very important for us because of this bug: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42742. We need to be able to set the PermGen space for large multi-module builds.

This is also a problem for Scala builds, where 'scala.home' cannot be passed, this is a problem when using the fast scala compiler.

ant4eclipse is instructed via ANT_OPTS, so this feature is crucial for us.
BTW Eclipse allows to do that.
