[Java] Is there an option for max heap size when running semmle-extractor-java.jar?

Hi, I was trying to create a database for an internal project and failed due to an OutOfMemoryError.

Since it's a heap size problem, I tried again with the -J -Xmx4096M flag to increase the max heap size a bit, but didn't really work as the process still failed with the same message. Is there a way to provide a JVM option for the extractor command?

Does github/codeql#5292 (comment) solve your problem?
