"java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space" in Maven build
JavaMavenOut of-MemoryPermgenJava Problem Overview
I'm getting this error while building Maven project, I increased MAVEN_OPTS but all the same, I found some similar posts but they are refering to something else. How do I fix this?
The system is out of resources.
Consult the following stack trace for details.

I'm not as worried about how to fix as to how to fix it in the maven ecosystem
Java Solutions
Solution 1 - Java
When you say you increased MAVEN_OPTS
, what values did you increase? Did you increase the MaxPermSize
, as in example:
export MAVEN_OPTS="-Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m"
(or on Windows:)
set MAVEN_OPTS=-Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m
You can also specify these JVM options in each maven project separately.
Solution 2 - Java
If you want to make this part of your POM for a repeatable build, you can use the fork-variant of a few of the plugins (especially compiler:compile and surefire:test):
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.2</version>
<configuration>
<fork>true</fork>
<meminitial>128m</meminitial>
<maxmem>1024m</maxmem>
<compilerArgs>
<arg>-XX:MaxPermSize=256m</arg>
</compilerArgs>
</configuration>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.18</version>
<configuration>
<forkCount>1</forkCount>
<argLine>-Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m</argLine>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Solution 3 - Java
Increase the size of your perm space, of course. Use the -XX:MaxPermSize=128m
option. Set the value to something appropriate.
Solution 4 - Java
When I encountered this exception, I solved this by using Run Configurations... panel as picture shows below.Especially, at JRE tab, the VM Arguments are the critical
( "-Xmx1024m -Xms512m -XX:MaxPermSize=1024m -XX:PermSize=512m" ).
Solution 5 - Java
This very annoying error so what I did: Under Windows:
Edit system environment variables - > Edit Variables -> New
then fill
MAVEN_OPTS
-Xms512m -Xmx2048m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m
Then restart the console and run the maven build again. No more Maven space/perm size problems.
Solution 6 - Java
I have found a solution of git bash command when you try to build war using git mvn clean install for “java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space” in Maven build error come
use below command first
$ export MAVEN_OPTS="-Xmx512m -Xss32m"
then use your mvn command to clean install /build war file
$ mvn clean install
NOTE: you don't need -XX:MaxPermSize argument in MAVEN_OPTS when your are using jdk1.8
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM warning: ignoring option MaxPermSize=XXXm; support was removed in 8.0
Solution 7 - Java
We face this error when permanent generation heap is full and some of us we use command prompt to build our maven project in windows. since we need to increase heap size, we could set our environment variable @ControlPanel/System and Security/System and there you click on Change setting and select Advanced and set Environment variable as below
- Variable-name : MAVEN_OPTS
- Variable-value : -XX:MaxPermSize=128m
