Exit code 137 when running SonarQube analysis on Jenkins

Question

I have a project with hundreds java modules. I run SonarQube 5.1 with following plugins:

• Java 3.3
• Findbugs 3.2
• Checkstyle 2.3
• PMD 2.4.1
• Issue Assign 1.6
• SQALE 2.6
• SVN 1.1
• LDAP 1.4
• JIRA 1.2
• Cobertura 1.6.3

I use jenkins 1.639 with SonarQube plugin 2.3.

I set a job with the following settings:

• Goals : $SONAR_MAVEN_GOAL -Dsonar.host.url=$SONAR_HOST_URL -Dsonar.jdbc.url=$SONAR_JDBC_URL -Dsonar.jdbc.username=$SONAR_JDBC_USERNAME -Dsonar.jdbc.password=$SONAR_JDBC_PASSWORD -Dsonar.log.level=DEBUG
• MAVEN_OPTS: -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -Xmx8192m`

When I perform an analysis with Jenkins I get the following error:

<code>[INFO] [08:57:22.023] Store results in database

Can you help?

I had same issue before, but for me the lack of virtual memory of my linux instance was the issue.

Increasing the memory Maven options didn't help much
