Getting out of heap space on several different projects

[MatanSabag]

I'm using version 16.7.1. I tested it for several projects. Last project I tested it on was a Gradle 6.1 project. The project is a multi project (root project which is merely a container for 2 other submodules).

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

Hi,

We haven't seen this issue with modern gradle and latest version of the plugin

Any chance you could share a reproducible example?

Also, how much memory are you allocating to your build? Wonder if the gradle default is not enough.

this happens for me on gradle 6.8.1 despite GRADLE_OPTS="-Xmx4096M"
