You can provide any JVM arguments you want to dex.
See http://jayway.github.io/maven-android-plugin/dex-mojo.html

So just increase the available memory:
<dex>
  <jvmArguments>
    <jvmArgument>-Xms1024m</jvmArgument>
    <jvmArgument>-Xmx2048m</jvmArgument>
  </jvmArguments>
</dex>

Thank you. that's what i want and help me a lot.

I have read the following page ,but did not found the detail of the 
configuration.

"http://books.sonatype.com/mvnref-book/reference/android-dev.html".

The page you give above is very usefull,but it seems there is no direct link in 
homepage and the references.however,i got it now. ^_^

And,after read the page,another question comes to me. How to config the dex 
phase to generate multi-dex? You know,the dex tool can generate serveral dex 
files if use --multi-dex option. This is fatal when the project is too 
complex,it may have more than 65336(2^32) methods,then the process will die. 
would you please help me again?

Thanks

You can use the aaptExtraArgs property to pass in any extra argument you want 
when dexing.
