You can configure the scala-maven-plugin in the pom.xml like bellow

<project>
  ...
      <plugin>
        <groupId>net.alchim31.maven</groupId>
        <artifactId>scala-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>3.2.1</version>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <goals>
              <goal>compile</goal>
              <goal>testCompile</goal>
            </goals>
          </execution>
        </executions>
        <configuration>
          <jvmArgs>
            <jvmArg>-Xms256m</jvmArg>
            <jvmArg>-Xmx1024m</jvmArg>
          </jvmArgs>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
  ...
</project>
