How to run a java project with vm arguments from command line?

Question

I'm writing a maven plugin which has to initialize another java project with specific VM arguments. according to the exec:java, they only take in arguments but not VMarguments, so my question is how to launch a java project with specific VMarguments from the command line? thanks

You have looked at the exec java plugin of what? In which system does the command line have plugins? — JB Nizet

Judging from the mention of the exec plugin and the OP's previous questions, he probably wants to execute a java program from Maven. — Péter Török

You can't supply extra VM arguments if you use Maven's exec:java plugin because it runs in the same VM (i.e. it's already been initialized). You'll need to use exec:exec, and construct the java command line yourself.
