RESOLVED check below for solution.
I\'m using Intellij Idea 2017.2.2. Below is my intellij Specs.
My Intellij would only occasionally fail a maven build or a jbo
Ultimately I was able to resolve the issue by updating the proper JDK. My project was picking up on an incorrect JDK and hence was running the 32 Bit as opposed to 64 bit JDK.
Simply added the correct JDK under File > Project Settings.
It seemed that my project never required that much memory before, but once the need had risen, it seems that a 64 bit became required.
