Solution 1<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Windows: Go to environment variable and add following variables<\/p>\n

export JAVA_OPTS=”-XX:MaxPermSize=512m -Xms512m -Xmx1024m”
\nexport GRADLE_OPTS=”-XX:MaxPermSize=512m”
\nexport SONAR_RUNNER_OPTS=”-Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m”<\/p>\n

In Linux:
\nIn my ~\/.bash_profile file, I have set the following 3 variables. Note there are other variables in this file as well i.e. JAVA_HOME, ANT_HOME, SONAR_HOME, SONAR_RUNNER_HOME, etc:<\/p>\n

export JAVA_OPTS=”-XX:MaxPermSize=512m -Xms512m -Xmx1024m”
\nexport GRADLE_OPTS=”-XX:MaxPermSize=512m”
\nexport SONAR_RUNNER_OPTS=”-Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m”<\/p>\n

Solution 2<\/strong>
\nYou can set the -Xmx or -XX:MaxPermSize in your Jenkins global configuration. To do this, navigate to Jenkins global configuration page (Manage Jenkins -> Configure System)<\/p>\n

Name – JAVA_OPTS
\nValue – “-XX:MaxPermSize=512m -Xms512m -Xmx1024m”<\/p>\n

You can set similarlity for maven, gradle, sonar as well under “Maven Project Configuration” or grade project configuration.<\/p>\n

Name – GRADLE_OPTS
\nValue – “-XX:MaxPermSize=512m”<\/p>\n

Solution 3<\/strong><\/p>\n

They way you can modify this value depends on the distribution and depending on the slave type<\/p>\n

Master<\/p>\n

In RedHat, for example, you can do it under \/etc\/sysconfig\/jenkins using the variable JENKINS_JAVA_OPTIONS… i.e JENKINS_JAVA_OPTIONS=”-XX:MaxPermSize=512m”.
\nIn Ubuntu, the Jenkins configuration file is under \/etc\/default\/jenkins and the variable to configure is JAVA_ARGS … i.e JAVA_ARGS=”-XX:MaxPermSize=512m”.<\/p>\n

Slave<\/p>\n

Sometimes slave machines will require permgen to be increased. Depending on the type of slave that is configured will require a different method for setting any java argument.<\/p>\n

With SSH Slaves, the java process is started using an SSH command, so the “-XX:MaxPermSize=512m” can be set in the JVM Options in the Node configuration page.
\nWith JNLP Slaves launching as a service on linux, you can add the VM arguments to the startup scripts (usually in \/etc\/sysconfig\/jenkins or \/etc\/default\/jenkins as part of the JAVA_ARGS variable)
\nWith JNLP Slaves launching as a service on Windows requires modifications to be made on the jenkins.xml file which is located on slave machine in the JENKINS_HOME directory.<\/p>\n
