- - ### Method Detail

    - #### getSystemProperties

          @Input
          Map<String,Object> getSystemProperties()

      Returns the system properties which will be used for the process.
      Returns:
        The system properties. Returns an empty map when there are no system properties.

    - #### setSystemProperties

          void setSystemProperties(Map<String,?> properties)

      Sets the system properties to use for the process.
      Parameters:
        `properties` - The system properties. Must not be null.

    - #### systemProperties

          JavaForkOptions systemProperties(Map<String,?> properties)

      Adds some system properties to use for the process.
      Parameters:
        `properties` - The system properties. Must not be null.
      Returns:
        this

    - #### systemProperty

          JavaForkOptions systemProperty(String name,
                                       Object value)

      Adds a system property to use for the process.
      Parameters:
        `name` - The name of the property
        `value` - The value for the property. May be null.
      Returns:
        this

    - #### getDefaultCharacterEncoding

          @Optional
          @Input
          String getDefaultCharacterEncoding()

      Returns the default character encoding to use.
      Returns:
        The default character encoding. Returns null if the `default character encoding of this JVM` should be used.

    - #### setDefaultCharacterEncoding

          void setDefaultCharacterEncoding(String defaultCharacterEncoding)

      Sets the default character encoding to use. Note: Many JVM implementations support the setting of this attribute via system property on startup (namely, the `file.encoding` property). For JVMs where this is the case, setting the `file.encoding` property via `setSystemProperties(java.util.Map)` or similar will have no effect as this value will be overridden by the value specified by `getDefaultCharacterEncoding()`.
      Parameters:
        `defaultCharacterEncoding` - The default character encoding. Use null to use `this JVM's default charset`

    - #### getMinHeapSize

          @Optional
          @Input
          String getMinHeapSize()

      Returns the minimum heap size for the process, if any.
      Returns:
        The minimum heap size. Returns null if the default minimum heap size should be used.

    - #### setMinHeapSize

          void setMinHeapSize(String heapSize)

      Sets the minimum heap size for the process.
      Parameters:
        `heapSize` - The minimum heap size. Use null for the default minimum heap size.

    - #### getMaxHeapSize

          @Optional
          @Input
          String getMaxHeapSize()

      Returns the maximum heap size for the process, if any.
      Returns:
        The maximum heap size. Returns null if the default maximum heap size should be used.

    - #### setMaxHeapSize

          void setMaxHeapSize(String heapSize)

      Sets the maximum heap size for the process.
      Parameters:
        `heapSize` - The heap size. Use null for the default maximum heap size.

    - #### getJvmArgs
