Overriding Gradle's JavaExec task from project's depends.gradle file

  for example you have JavaExec task configured elsewhere as Gradle's plugin 

 and in current project you want to add/override jvmArgs for that task   

 solution:    

myTask {    

    jvmArgs "-Xmx256m"  

}    

Passing JVM args to Gradle (configuring Gradle)

use GRADLE_OPTS

for example 

GRADLE_OPTS=-Xmx512m

export GRADLE_OPTS

gradlew myTask
