I encounted the following trouble when building the AOSP 7.
[ 45% 16221/35670] Building with Jack:...k_intermediates/with-local/classes.dex
FAILED: /bin/bash out/target/common/obj/JAVA_LIBRARIES/framework_intermediates/with-local/classes.dex.rsp

#### make failed to build some targets (01:26:54 (hh:mm:ss)) ####
Is this because AOSP became bigger in capacity?
I have never faced such trouble when I tried to build AOSP 6 or lower versions.
Please help.
You need to edit .jack-settings, and add this line
JACK_SERVER_VM_ARGUMENTS="-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -XX:+TieredCompilation -Xmx4096m"
Hope this solves your problem.
