IntelliJ IDEA: StackOverflowError on Build Project

Question

I am using the following IntelliJ.

IntelliJ IDEA 2017.2 EAP Build #IU-172.2953.9, built on June 14, 2017 IntelliJ IDEA EAP User Expiration date: July 14, 2017 JRE: 1.8.0_152-release-915-b3 x86_64 JVM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o Mac OS X 10.12.5 

I have been getting java.lang.StackOverflowError upon building the project.

Has anyone fallen into the same situation?

Answer 1

Adding -Xss4m to the build process VM options should help:

Answer 2

If you are getting the issue in Run/Debug configuration, you can change the same in Run->Edit Configurations->VM parameters: -Xms512M -Xmx1024M -Xss4M -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled
