Integration with Play Framework 2.3: OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded

[lmayumi]

After the instrumentation, I am getting GC exception. I have both "-Xms2048M" and "-Xmx2048M" allocate 2GB of memory which I think is enough. Do anyone have any idea how to get around this?

Ls there a way to override the memory allocation so I can give the process running this plugin more memory?

You should just be able to increase the memory in your tests as normal. Try 3gb and see if that works.

FWIW - I've been using sbt-scoverage without any problem at all with a Play Framework-based project.
Never had any memory issues: as @sksamuel pointed out, you should set your JVM to run with more memory (but I'm using JDK 8 with the default settings and it works just fine).
