**[Stephan Schroevers](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=stephan202)** commented This also applies to `MAVEN_OPTS` set as environment variable, which is highly unintuitive. (Environment variables should override file-based settings.) Demonstration of the issue using Java 8: ``` $ MAVEN_OPTS="-XX:MaxPermSize=192m" $ mvn -version | head -n 0 Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: ignoring option MaxPermSize=192m; support was removed in 8.0 $ echo 'MAVEN_OPTS="-XX:MaxPermSize=128m"' > ~/.mavenrc $ mvn -version | head -n 0 Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: ignoring option MaxPermSize=128m; support was removed in 8. ``` Note that this can cause quite a bit of head scratching for Travis CI users wishing to override `MAVEN_OPTS`, because the build images ship with a (largely undocumented) `/etc/mavenrc` file. (I speak from experience...) See also [Travis CI #3893](https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-ci/issues/3893). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
