Actually, I can think of seperate module inside the main root project and a
seperate pom.xml for each one. Then you can build those one by one.
Else, try increasing the memory with the compiler plugin (I think, you have
atleast 1.5 GB RAM)
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<meminitial>512m</meminitial>
<maxmem>1024m</maxmem>
</configuration>
</plugin>
This may resolve the out of memory error.
