To sum up: - Maven's JVM under 32-bits windows is not concerned. Hotspot always defaults to client vm under Windows. - Then for Linux or other platforms, with current typical machines, it's very often defaulting to Server VM. But it can vary, and is precisely explained in the link Hervé put (more directly, see here : http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/ergo5-140223.html#0.0.%20Garbage%20collector,%20heap,%20and%20runtime%20compiler%7Coutline ).
For the record, I just checked on my 32-bits windows box, and there's no difference between the two executions. Hope this helps.
