In IDEA 8.0 all Maven builds are run with extarnal Maven; embedder is used only to import the project's structure. To configure IDEA's memory settings please edit $idea_home$/bin/idea.properties file; to configure Maven's memory settings go to Settings->Maven->Runner and edit VM Parameters field.
This is a limiting factor for us upgrading to 8.0.
Anyone from IDEA monitoring this forum?
Thanks,

yes, i cannot change to an external maven either and it prevents me from setting memory settings so that i dont get out of memory when running maven.
in fact, i get out of memory when i do an 'update folders'.
is removing the ability to run an external maven a regression?
