Are you sure this value is being passed to the JVM?

Try adding this to your test plugin:
   System.out.println("Max heap size: "+Runtime.getRuntime().maxMemory());

I tested this on my Linux box.  With no "-Xmx" it prints:
   Max heap size: 66650112      (64mb)
With "-Xmx1024m" it prints:
   Max heap size: 1065484288    (1016mb)

You shouldn't need to edit that file.  There are some -D flags you could set, 
but that should not be necessary.  For details, see:

No, I think your simple example is the right place to start.

I think that the -Xmx value is not being passed to the JVM, as noted above.

I don't know how that IDE passes the -D and -X flags to the JVM.

You might want to try running your example from the command line.
