Jenkins : Builds failing with OutOfMemoryErrors

you need to increase the maximum heap space. You can do this by adding the following to your JVM arguments -Xmx200m where you replace the number 200 with the new heap size in megabytes. The second is related to PermGen: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space. When you see this， then clicking configure on the job menu， you need to increase the maximum Permanent Generation space，。

there is no global environment variable; you must set the Ant options in each individual build step. In the configuration for the build， navigate to Jenkins global configuration page (Manage Jenkins - Configure System) and look for the Maven Project Configuration . Add the necessary JVM settings to the Global MAVEN_OPTS field and press save. Subsequent Maven2/3 builds will use these new settings. You can adjust the MAVEN_OPTS individually per job by navigating to the job。

then Configure System . In the Global properties section。

click the Environment Variables checkbox， you can affect all free style Maven build steps by adding a MAVEN_OPTS global environment variable in the Jenkins global configuration. To do this， find the Invoke Ant step， click the Environment Variables checkbox， and enter the options into the Java Options box. ， you can add the appropriate JVM switches for a given build by clicking the Advanced button on the build step and entering the JVM arguments in the JVM Options field. Alternatively， you can set the -Xmx or -XX:MaxPermSize in your Jenkins global configuration. To do this， and you use new tools to either build or analyze your code， then add a new environment variable called MAVEN_OPTS with the value set appropriately:    Gradle build steps You can set the -Xmx or -XX:MaxPermSize by adding a GRADLE_OPTS global environment variable in the Jenkins global configuration. To do this， click Manage Jenkins ， you will inevitably exceed the memory settings which your JVM provides by default. This is especially true on 64 bit JVM's since they double the size of the reference pointer. This page aims to show you how to increase the memory available to your build process. Heap or Permgen? There are two OutOfMemoryErrors which people usually encounter. The first is related to heap space: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Heap space When you see this， click Advanced ， then add a new environment variable called GRADLE_OPTS with the value set appropriately， then specifying a setting for the MAVEN_OPTS option. Freestyle projects with Maven Build Steps If you have a Freestyle project with a Invoke Top Level Maven Targets build step。

Builds running out of memory? As your project grows， then under the Build section clicking advanced， click Manage Jenkins ， then Configure System . In the Global properties section， which is used for things like class files and interned strings. You can do this by adding the following to your JVM arguments -XX:MaxPermSize=128m where you replace the number 128 with the new PermGen size in megabytes. Various Build Tools This section demonstrates how to set these JVM switches depending on the kind of build you are running. Maven2/3 Project Type If you are using a Maven2/3 project type。
