I get the following exception in my Jenkins job:-
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space
at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass1(Native Method)

......
I run my Junit test cases in this job through Maven. As suggested by Jenkins I have a new global property MAVEN_OPTS with a value as high as -XX:MaxPermSize=1024m.
But still I continue to get the java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
