Linux out-of-memory killer uses to get rid of memory hogs. It sure
sounds like you might not have enough memory.
But I cannot answer why it takes more memory when Jenkins runs maven.
Maybe Jenkins starts multiple jvms? You could also create a freestyle
job and run the mvn build from a shell build step and see how that
turns out.

Hi everyone,
There is a problem I have been struggling with Jenkins. I tried different CI
servers but none of them offers the same features Jenkins has, so I want to
use it.
I have a small Rackspace CloudServer instance with 256MB RAM and running
Jenkins with Apache Tomcat 7 in that server. Using Maven 2 and Git plugins
of Jenkins.
The problem is, either Maven JVM exits with the code 137 (when forking is
enabled) or I get mysterious crashes. I know that the 256MB of RAM may not
be enough for Jenkins; but the thing is: even when I am running Jenkins, I
can build the project via command line in a short period of time. My project
involves some heavy servers, and generally the test are failing with
Jenkins.
If I can build the project via command line just fine when the Jenkins
server is running (meaning more than one JVM), isn't that a problem with the
Jenkins? I tried different combinations of fork configurations and Maven JVM
settings, even when build is OK for once, then it fails in subsequent
builds.
I even set maximum number of builds to keep to 3, but it didn't help.
Any comments are appreciated.
Best regards,
Deniz
I could increase the memory, but doing so just for Jenkins is not
acceptable for me.
I am trying others' suggestions too. If none of them works out, I may
create a freestyle shell job to do the work as you suggested, as a last
resort.
Thanks for answer!
Best,
Deniz
