Solve Jenkins Maven jobs build fail due to OutOfMemoryError

There are two major OutOfMemoryError types.

1. java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Heap space
2. java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

You can easily solve this by adding/changing Jenkins environment variables.

Go to

Manage Jenkins >> Configure System >> 

In the Global Properties section check the Environment Variables check box.

Then add parameters as below

Name: MAVEN_OPTS

Value: -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=1024m

Setting Xmx will solve your Heap Space issue and setting XX:MaxPermSize will solve your PermGen Space issues.

Cheers...!!
