Have you tried increasing your memory? Is it Jenkins or your maven build that gets OOM? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11341494/how-do-i-properly-set-the-permgen-size for example.. — Peter Svensson, Apr 16 '14 at 11:43

Increase your permanent memory space by setting the JVM arguments like this

-XX:PermSize=512m  -XX:MaxPermSize=1028m

You could also increase the heap size like this

-Xms512m -Xmx1g

This would allocate in total of 2 GB memory (1g max for heap space and 1g max for perm generation space)
