jvm

resolves

--jvm-resolves="{'key1': val1, 'key2': val2, ...}"

PANTS_JVM_RESOLVES

{
  "jvm-default": "3rdparty/jvm/default.lock"
}

A dictionary mapping resolve names to the path of their lockfile.

default_resolve

--jvm-default-resolve=<str>

PANTS_JVM_DEFAULT_RESOLVE

The default value used for the resolve and compatible_resolves fields.

The name must be defined as a resolve in [jvm].resolves.

debug_args

--jvm-debug-args="['<str>', '<str>', ...]"

PANTS_JVM_DEBUG_ARGS

Extra JVM arguments to use when running tests in debug mode.

For example, if you want to attach a remote debugger, use something like ['-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=5005'].

tool_jdk

--jvm-tool-jdk=<str>

PANTS_JVM_TOOL_JDK

The JDK to use when building and running Pants' internal JVM support code and other non-compiler tools. See jvm help for supported values.

jdk

--jvm-jdk=<str>

PANTS_JVM_JDK

The JDK to use.

This string will be passed directly to Coursier's --jvm parameter. Run cs java --available to see a list of available JVM versions on your platform.

If the string 'system' is passed, Coursier's --system-jvm option will be used instead, but note that this can lead to inconsistent behavior since the JVM version will be whatever happens to be found first on the system's PATH.

reproducible_jars

--[no-]jvm-reproducible-jars

PANTS_JVM_REPRODUCIBLE_JARS

When enabled, JAR files produced by JVM tools will have timestamps stripped.

Because some compilers do not support this step as a native operation, it can have a performance cost, and is not enabled by default.

nailgun_remote_cache_speculation_delay

--jvm-nailgun-remote-cache-speculation-delay=<int>

PANTS_JVM_NAILGUN_REMOTE_CACHE_SPECULATION_DELAY

The time in milliseconds to delay speculation of nailgun processes while reading from the remote cache.

When speculating, a remote cache hit will cancel the local copy of a process. But because nailgun does not natively support cancellation, that requires killing a nailgun server, which will mean that future processes take longer to warm up.

This setting allows for trading off waiting for potentially slow cache entries against potentially having to warm up a new nailgun server.

global_options

--jvm-global-options="['<str>', '<str>', ...]"

PANTS_JVM_GLOBAL_OPTIONS

List of JVM options to pass to all JVM processes.

Options set here will be used by any JVM processes required by Pants, with the exception of heap memory settings like -Xmx, which need to be set using [GLOBAL].process_total_child_memory_usage and [GLOBAL].process_per_child_memory_usage.

Can be overriden by field jvm_global_options on local_environment, docker_environment, or remote_environment targets.
