  - ### getMemoryInitialSize

    @Internal public String getMemoryInitialSize()
    Returns the initial heap size for the compiler process. Defaults to `null`, in which case the JVM's default will be used.

  - ### setMemoryInitialSize

    public void setMemoryInitialSize(String memoryInitialSize)
    Sets the initial heap size for the compiler process. Defaults to `null`, in which case the JVM's default will be used.

  - ### getMemoryMaximumSize

    @Internal public String getMemoryMaximumSize()
    Returns the maximum heap size for the compiler process. Defaults to `null`, in which case the JVM's default will be used.

  - ### setMemoryMaximumSize

    public void setMemoryMaximumSize(String memoryMaximumSize)
    Sets the maximum heap size for the compiler process. Defaults to `null`, in which case the JVM's default will be used.

  - ### getJvmArgs

    @Optional @Input public @Nullable List<String> getJvmArgs()
    Returns any additional JVM arguments for the compiler process. Defaults to the empty list.

  - ### setJvmArgs

    public void setJvmArgs(@Nullable List<String> jvmArgs)
    Sets any additional JVM arguments for the compiler process. Defaults to the empty list. Empty or null arguments are filtered out because they cause JVM Launch to fail.
