SonarQube analysis failed java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

java jenkins sonarqube sonarqube-ops

I am using SonarQube version 5.3 and using Jenkins version 1.651 to start the Sonar Scanner. I am also using the Sonar Java plugin version 3.11-build4121.

There seems to be a problem the memory. From my debugging I found that a possible solution may be to increase the maximum Java Heap size by using the flag -Xmx in Jenkins. So I attempted this setup:

-Xss1024k -Xmx4096m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m

But without any success since it produces the following errors.

I noticed this post: 1 which experiences a similar problem but the problem seems to have been solves once the heap memory size was set to 4096 which it has not for me.

Any suggestions on how I can solve this problem?

Edit-1: spellcorrect.

The entire project is around 760mb in size and 1 million lines of code.

I believe I found the issue which caused this problem - I had been configuring the wrong parameter. I configured the parameter in the Sonar Runner in Jenkins while the issue resided in the SonarQube Web server. Once I edited the parameter in the sonar.properties-file in the SonarQube Server opt/sonar/conf to sonar.web.javaOpts=-Xmx1280m the SonarQube server could analyze the results from the Sonar Runner analysis.
