Maven spotbugs plugin failing with Out of Memory Error

I am trying to use spotbugs-maven-plugin like below

<build>
...
<plugin>
        <groupId>com.github.spotbugs</groupId>
        <artifactId>spotbugs-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>3.1.0-RC8</version>
        <configuration>
                <plugins>
                        <plugin>
                            <groupId>jp.skypencil.findbugs.slf4j<groupId>
                            <artifactId>bug-pattern</artifactId>
                            <version>1.2.4</version>
                        </plugin>
                </plugins>
                <includeFilterFile>./spotbugIncludeFilter.xml</includeFilterFile>
                <onlyAnalyze>com.vnera.-</onlyAnalyze>
                <argLine>-Xmx1024m</argLine>
        </configuration>
</plugin>
</build>

But each time it is failing with the below error

[INFO] Fork Value is true
     [java] Out of memory
     [java] Total memory: 482M
     [java]  free memory: 43M

I have also tried setting <argLine>-XX:MaxPermSize=1024m</argLine>. Still getting same error.

Can someone let me know how can I get around this?

  • Java 8
  • Maven 3
Solution

  • Have you looked at maxHeap ? This should help out with increasing the memory problem that you have.

    Also from their FAQ it states:

    You can increase this using the -maxHeap n option, where n is the number of megabytes of heap space to allocate.
