solving java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: "Java heap space" [message #521177]

Today I encountered a Java heap space problem, just want to share the solution.

I kept on getting "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space" in my free style job (running buckminster build command).
So I added -Xms1024m to my hudson startup call:
java -Xms1024m hudson.war

Still the same problem. After messing around with all those vm arguments -Xms512m -Xmx512m -XX:PermSize=512m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m I saw in my task manager that there is another java task running.
Buckminster is running in its own JVM, which totally makes sense. I was hacking around at the wrong place.

So to solve this issue, open your free style job and add -Xmx1024m to "Run Buckminster" => "Advanced Options" => "JVM Argumente"

Problem solved...

If you don't mind, could you log this as a documentation issue for
Buckminster ("troubleshooting tip Hudson out of memory")?

yes sure, what do you mean by "log this as a documentation issue"?

Rename this thread to "Buckminster ("troubleshooting tip Hudson out of memory")"?

Hi Flavio,

just a little hint in case you didn't find that yourself yet:

You can also set VM arguments globally for the buckminster installation
instead of redefining them for each build job.
To do so, navigate to the 'configure hudson' page, go the Buckminster
section and enter e.g "-Xmx1024m" as additional startup parameter for
the selected buckminster installation.

Best regards,
Johannes
