Apache Tika (Lucene) build issue - java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

While building apache tika from source, I get the following issue

$ mvn package

[INFO] [bundle:bundle {execution: default-bundle}]

The solution is easy enough - just increase memory like so

$ MAVEN_OPTS="-Xmx3g" mvn package

Hope this helps folks who are getting tripped on this issue
