Specify MAVEN_OPTS

Hi All,

How do we specify maven command line arguments or have maven read MAVEN_OPTS env variable inside VSCode?

We have a custom nexus server that is a mirror of maven central repository setup in our settings.xml file. When opening our java project in VSCode hundreds of problems are reported stating: org.eclipse.aether.transfer.ArtifactTransferException: Could not transfer artifact X from/to Nexus (URL) PKIX path building failed: … unable to find valid certification path for request target.

NOTE: When we remove our settings.xml file and Maven central is used, everything downloads properly except some proprietary jars we need which are not in maven central.

We have added the certificate to the Java cacerts file. We also have MAVEN_OPTS environmental variable which specifies a truststore with the proper certificates.

PS C:\workspace\Apps> $Env:MAVEN_OPTS -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=C:\Users\mashl\.m2\maven-trust.jks -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=maven

Everything builds 100% successful and all jars are downloaded from our NEXUS server from the command line.

PS C:\workspace\806Apps> mvn clean install -P all-projects-dev ...

@tsmaeder now that @snjeza has more info to investigate, if she can find a fix, we’ll apply it ASAP

No matter what is specify the Build Agent does not taken in account any MAVEN_OPTS overrides and using [debug]MAVEN_OPTS is now set to -Xmx1024m for whatever reason and unable to find where this is being set on the VSTS Agent. Very frustrating. I guess I can edit the mvn script, but you shouldn’t have to do that!
