Invalid maximum heap size: -Xmx512m

Question

I have tried with all possible heap sizes for JVM, but I keep getting the below exception.

Admin pc@Admin-PC MINGW64 /c/controller/opendaylight (master)
$  /c/apache-maven-3.3.9/bin/mvn clean install
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.
Invalid maximum heap size: -Xmx512m

Note - Don't mark this as duplicate, because I have tried with all solutions here but unable to find a final fix for this.

EDIT NOTES- Adding debug information

Just ran into the same issue.

Instead of twiddeling settings, make sure you installled the 64bit version (and not 32 which the website gave me by default).
