I've helped a couple people who hit OutOfMemoryError while building Geode with Gradle 4.8. If you see OutOfMemoryError while compiling then you've hit the same issue. Geode source contains a gradle.properties file with settings including:
org.gradle.daemon = true org.gradle.jvmargs = -Xmx2048m org.gradle.caching = true org.gradle.parallel = false You can create a ~/.gradle/gradle.properties file and any key/value pairs in your file will override what the Geode build is using. People who have seen OutOfMemoryError while building seem to have luck by increasing the -Xmx value to 4 GB: org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx4g Here's what I'm currently running using in my gradle.properties: org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx4g -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
