I ran ./gradlew proguard --debug for my Java app to inspect why is it not finishing in hours, this is what I am seeing:

I assume these errors might be the cause, since they are getting printed every second. I tried setting this in gradle.properties, but no change:

GRADLE_OPTS = "-Xmx2048m -XX:MaxPermSize=2048m"

To configure Gradle JVM memory you need to set org.gradle.jvmargs in gradle.properties, as described in Build Environment / Configuring JVM memory

Example from the documentation:

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2g -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=512m -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

GRADLE_OPTS will not work for you, because:

  • GRADLE_OPTS is an environment variable and not a gradle.property configuration, therefore it has no effect when put into gradle.properties. It needs to be set before starting Gradle. For example, like this: 
    export GRADLE_OPTS="some opts here"
gradle build
  • According to the Gradle documentation, GRADLE_OPTS only configures the Gradle client, but your build is most probably running in a Gradle Daemon.

See Build Environment / Environment variables for more details.
