Is there some settings in Maven or Bamboo to restrict the tests to run in the same JVM as Bamboo rather than running in a seperate JVM?

I use Bamboo and Maven for continuous integration and running tests. Where ever scheduled/dependent maven tests run in Bamboo, it creates a new JVM. I have a huge no. of test for each project configured in Bamboo. There are as many as 20 projects, all have tests specific to them. So JVM number also increases, that makes the开发者_运维知识库 server less responsive, since multiple JVM increases the memory footprint.

You can set this in Maven surefire-plugin:

You have the following choices:

• forkMode=never
• forkMode=once
• forkMode=always
