Question

MVN_OPTS = -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m

and it didn't help .

Answer 1

Some one post the answer in the web . a copy paste from the original post :

The solution obviously is to increase the maximum heap size which is represented by the JVM -Xmx argument. Now there are a number of places you can find this argument (STS.ini is one of them) , but here's the one place I found that really makes the difference.

Goto the 'Run Configurations' popup of the current maven run you are trying to use (can be accesed by right clicking your project and selecting 'Run As') Select your current run under 'Maven Build' in the tree Select the the JVM tab and add your requested -Xmx settings (I chose -Xmx512m) Press 'Apply' and 'Run'

Answer 2

Shouldn't this be MAVEN_OPTS instead of MVN_OPTS?
