Error Jenkins Maven Build 137

+1 vote
I’ve created a Maven project that builds different Maven projects on Jenkins. The problem is that every time I build the project, I get the following error:

ERROR: Maven JVM terminated unexpectedly with exit code 137

Does it work when you run these maven projects from the console instead of Jenkins?
Yes it works fine when I build it through the console. It just doesn't build when I build it from Jenkins.

Try increasing the values of the memory settings - in MAVEN_OPTS on Jenkins, e.g.

MAVEN_OPTS=-Xmx1.5G -XX:MaxPermSize=0.7G 

 This might help.

This is mostly a memory issue. Try restarting your Jenkins. Worked for me. Could use this temporary solution. If anybody has an explanation and a better solution for this error, please do let me know.

This is definitely a memory issue. Reason - Few resources are not being freed up.

Right now I am following@Kanika's solution of restarting Jenkins(worked like a charm) but I'm sure there is a better solution to this.  

Still looking for a proper solution.

As @Nishant mentioned, it a memory issue. Increase the maven memory and try if it works.

I disagree with @Pam's answer. The problem is not with maven memory. The problem is with Virtual Machine memory. Increase the memory allocated to your VM. This did the trick for me!

I increased the memory using Global MAVEN_OPTS:

-Xmx4096m -Xms4096m

and it worked for me

I added a maven_opts parameter for garbage collection:

-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC

After that, the memory gets freed up better and faster.
It made my build absolutely stable
