Description

Some of the projects builds I work on require special jvm options, like minimal -Xmx value, and specific command line parameters, like --builder. Currently, I have to manually configure these every time run the build, which is rather annoying and error prone. This manual configuration also makes it harder for new or external developers to build the projects and many simply give up trying after "mvn package" does not work from the first try.

This enhancement request proposes to introduce two new optional configuration files .mvn/jvm.config and .mvn/maven.config, located at the base directory of project source tree. If present, these files will provide default jvm and maven options. Because these files are part of the project source tree, they will be present in all project checkouts and will be automatically used every time the project is build.
