OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space - Intermittent Error about gradle-tomcat-plugin

[bmuschko]

I am not aware of any way that let's you tweak the memory settings for the embedded implementation. As the embedded Tomcat runs within the same JVM as Gradle does, you will need to change the PermGen settings there e.g.

GRADLE_OPTS="-XX:MaxPermSize=128M"

With "there" I mean the environment variables in your Gradle shell scripts under <GRADLE_HOME>/bin.

Closing the ticket for now. Please let me know if you need more info.

is there a way to set this with gradle.properties ??

Try out org.gradle.jvmargs as described in Chapter 20. The Build Environment of the Gradle documentation. However, this might only work if you run Gradle as daemon process. It's worth a shot.

Hi bmuschko! .. I believe this memory shortage deserves an investigation. Please, let me explain why.

I've generated a very simple project with tomcat plugin on both Gradle ( this) and for Maven. It has same Dependencies, classes, architecture on both builds (gradle and pom). With maven plugin no extra memory is needed. On Gradle, well it's not just a matter of memory, it takes SEVERAL , i mean a lots of time to start (After raising memory).

Please, let me now if you need the example code, or mail me for any further information.

Kind regards

If you can provide me with both example projects (preferably on GitHub) - Maven and Gradle - I can have a look at it. Otherwise, it's hard to give you an answer to your question.
