I've read all kind of solutions for this. A link in a comment in
Dealing with “java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space” error
is the best I've found so far. Pretty complicated to follow though.
The point is, I get this error just compiling a project with Maven.
To my knowledge there is no aplication server so far. SO what's going on?
And what can I do?
This is my error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space
636
Solution To fix it, increase the PermGen memory settings by using the following Java VM options. -XX:PermSize<size> - Set initial PermGen Size. -XX:MaxPermSize<size> - Set the maximum PermGen Size. In the next step, we will show you how to set the VM options in Tomcat, under Windows and Linux environment.
OutOfMemoryError: PermGen Space is a runtime error in Java which occurs when the permanent generation (PermGen) area in memory is exhausted. The PermGen area of the Java heap is used to store metadata such as class declarations, methods and object arrays.
The default maximum memory size for 32-bit JVM is 64 MB and 82 MB for the 64-bit version. However, we can change the default size with the JVM options: -XX:PermSize=[size] is the initial or minimum size of the PermGen space. -XX:MaxPermSize=[size] is the maximum size.
The PermGen space contains the internal representation of the Java classes that JVM holds. The Permanent Generation is the garbage data that is collected in the same way as heap's other parts collected. It is a special area of memory that contains meta-data of the program's classes and the program's objects.

(or)
Please see this link: http://vikashazrati.wordpress.com/2007/07/26/quicktip-how-to-increase-the-java-heap-memory-for-maven-2-on-linux/
If you get an error OutOfMemory error while doing mvn site, because of all the reports that you are generating, just increase the heap size for maven2. The way to do that on linux.
In your mvn.sh add this as the first line after the copyright and other comments.
export MAVEN_OPTS=”-Xmx512m”
note than Maven 2.0.6 onwards some users have reported that the double quotes give problems, hence you might want to use
export MAVEN_OPTS=-Xmx512m
