Build Failed java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

Question

I am facing this issue while building my build.xml.

BUILD FAILED
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
    at java.util.Arrays.copyOf(Arrays.java:2786)
            


        

Answer 1

(For < Java 8, permgen doesn't apply to Java 8 and up)

For benefit of those who got a similar trace with the word "PermGen" in the Error message,

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

Increasing the perm-gean space in ANT_OPTS (preferably, though not necessarily along with the Max heap size) should solve the issue

example

export ANT_OPTS="-Xmx2g -XX:MaxPermSize=512m"

Adjust the numbers as per your your need.

Cheers!
