   Unfortunately this doesn't not help.
   The plugin create that command

   15:43:16.798 [DEBUG] [org.gradle.api.internal.project.ant.AntLoggingAdapter] Execute:Java13CommandLauncher: Executing 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_17\jre\bin\java.exe' with arguments:
   '-jar' 'c:\flexSdk\lib\compc.jar' '-source-path+=D:\MyDoc\Dropbox\source\java\IDEA\flex-gradle5\mircore\src' '-include-sources+=D:\MyDoc\Dropbox\source\java\IDEA\flex-gradle5\mircore\src' '-library-path+=D:\MyDoc\Dropbox\source\java\IDEA\flex-gradle5\mircore\libs\Mate 0.9.1.swc' '-library-path+=D:\MyDoc\Dropbox\source\java\IDEA\flex-gradle5\mircore\libs\SilinLib.swc' '-compiler.namespaces.namespace+=http://ns.mirapolis.org/flex/mircore,d:\MyDoc\Dropbox\source\java\I...' '-include-namespaces+=http://ns.mirapolis.org/flex/mircore' '-output=D:\MyDoc\Dropbox\source\java\IDEA\flex-gradle5\mircore\build/mircore.swc'

   If I add -Xmx1024m -Xms512m after "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_17\jre\bin\java.exe"
   then all work correct.

   I changed sources of the plugin and add

   myArgs = '-Xmx1024m -Xms512m'

       ant.java(args: myArgs,
               jar: project.flexHome + '/lib/compc.jar',
               dir: project.flexHome + '/frameworks',
               fork: true,
               resultproperty: ANT_RESULT_PROPERTY,
               outputproperty: ANT_OUTPUT_PROPERTY) {
   
           compilerArguments.each { compilerArgument ->
               arg(value: compilerArgument)
           }
       }
   

   but it doesn't work again becouse arguments insert after '-jar'
   'c:\flexSdk\lib\compc.jar'

   So I don't know what to do. I don't have much experience with dradle and groovy.

   Can you try to add maxmemory="256m" to the ant.java task, like this:
   ant.java(args: myArgs,
               jar: project.flexHome + '/lib/compc.jar',
               dir: project.flexHome + '/frameworks',
               fork: true,
               maxmemory="256m",
               resultproperty: ANT_RESULT_PROPERTY,
               outputproperty: ANT_OUTPUT_PROPERTY) {

   Do this for the AbstractMxmlc.groovy and the Compc.groovy classes.

   I'll try to add this to GradleFx so that users will be able to configure this, but this will probably be in about 2 weeks since I'm quite busy right now. I'll log a feature request for it in our bugtracking system on GitHub.

   I didn't try you advice I think it works.

   I've added jvmargs

   myArgs = '-Xmx1024m -Xms512m'

       ant.java(jvmargs: myArgs,
               jar: project.flexHome + '/lib/compc.jar',
               dir: project.flexHome + '/frameworks',
               fork: true,
               resultproperty: ANT_RESULT_PROPERTY,
               outputproperty: ANT_OUTPUT_PROPERTY) {
   
           compilerArguments.each { compilerArgument ->
               arg(value: compilerArgument)
           }
       }
   

   So it works correctly. Thanks for you help!!
