- ## Method Details

  - ### getSystemProperties

    @Input Map<String,@Nullable 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,? extends @Nullable Object> properties)
    Sets the system properties to use for the process.
    Parameters:
      `properties` - The system properties. Must not be null.

  - ### systemProperties

    JavaForkOptions systemProperties(Map<String,? extends @Nullable Object> 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, @Nullable 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 @Nullable 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(@Nullable 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 @Nullable 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(@Nullable String heapSize)
    Sets the minimum heap size for the process. Supports the units megabytes (e.g. "512m") and gigabytes (e.g. "1g").
    Parameters:
      `heapSize` - The minimum heap size. Use null for the default minimum heap size.

  - ### getMaxHeapSize

    @Optional @Input @Nullable 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(@Nullable String heapSize)
    Sets the maximum heap size for the process. Supports the units megabytes (e.g. "512m") and gigabytes (e.g. "1g").
    Parameters:
      `heapSize` - The heap size. Use null for the default maximum heap size.

  - ### getJvmArgs

    @Optional @Input List<String> getJvmArgs()
    Returns the extra arguments to use to launch the JVM for the process. Does not include system properties and the minimum/maximum heap size settings, which are managed separately and included in `getAllJvmArgs()`.
    Returns:
      The immutable list of arguments. Returns an empty list if there are no arguments.

  - ### setJvmArgs

    void setJvmArgs(List<String> arguments)

    @Classpath FileCollection getBootstrapClasspath()
    Returns the bootstrap classpath to use for the process. The default bootstrap classpath for the JVM is used when this classpath is empty.
    Returns:
      The bootstrap classpath. Never returns null.

  - ### setBootstrapClasspath

    void setBootstrapClasspath(FileCollection classpath)
    Sets the bootstrap classpath to use for the process. Set to an empty classpath to use the default bootstrap classpath for the specified JVM.

    @Input boolean getDebug()
    Determines whether debugging is enabled for the test process. When enabled — `debug = true` — the process is started in a suspended state, listening on port 5005. You should disable parallel test execution when debugging and you will need to reattach the debugger occasionally if you use a non-zero value for `Test.getForkEvery()`.

    Returns:
      true when debugging is enabled, false to disable.

    Parameters:
      `enabled` - true to enable debugging, false to disable.

  - ### getDebugOptions

    JavaDebugOptions getDebugOptions()
    Returns the Java Debug Wire Protocol properties for the process. If enabled then the `-agentlib:jdwp=...` will be appended to the JVM arguments with the configuration from the parameter.
    Since:
      5.6

  - ### debugOptions

    void debugOptions(Action<JavaDebugOptions> action)
    Configures Java Debug Wire Protocol properties for the process. If `setDebug(boolean)` is enabled then the `-agentlib:jdwp=...` will be appended to the JVM arguments with the configuration from the parameter.
