Answer 1

Some steps you can follow to resolve...

1. Check the JDK and Grails, both need to be same 32 bit or both need to be same 64 bit
2. Execute this on command prompt: java -Xmx2048m -Xms256m
3. Then rebuild and run app

Answer 2

The initial memory allocated to your JVM is bigger than the maximum JVM memory size you allocated via your -Xmx parameter.
