VM Options are used by JUnit tests for Java SE projects (i.e. it append something like "-Drun.jvmargs=...." to the Ant -f call). For Java Web projects, VM Options are never passed to JUnit tests. According to the VM Options field's description, these options should be passed. Thx. Product Version: NetBeans IDE 8.0 (Build 201403101706) Updates: Updates available to version NetBeans 8.0 Patch 2 Java: 1.7.0_65; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 24.65-b04 Runtime: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.7.0_65-b19 System: Windows 8 version 6.2 running on amd64; Cp1252; en_US (nb) Nothing relevant in NB logs (no warning, no error, nothing about VM Ooptions).
Sorry, I used he wrong property. I just discovered that I had to use the "run.jvmargs" for JavaSE project, and a different one for Java Web projects: "runmain.jvmargs". I don't understand why NetBeans uses two different properties for the same goal, but this is not very important. Closing this ticket.
