Jenkins FATAL ERROR Timeout: killed the sub-process - maven

Question

I am running a Jenkins job which creates findbugs report. It seems Findbugs is memory and time hungry Initially I was facing OutOfMemory error issue and I increased memory by setting MAVEN_OPTS variable i.e.
MAVEN_OPTS=-Xms512m -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m.
Now I am facing Timeout: sub-process interrupted exception. Any suggestion how to get rid of this?
Note: I am using "mvn clean compile findbugs:findbugs" command and if I run it manually its working(without any timeout exception).
Findbugs version: 2.5.3
Jenkins version: 1.545
Here is the error log:
[INFO] [findbugs:findbugs {execution: default-cli}]
[INFO] Fork Value is false
[java] JVM args ignored when same JVM is used.
Timeout: sub-process interrupted

Answer 1

You may want to check the timeout property of the Maven Findbugs plugin. It is set to 10 minutes by default. Since your analysis is taking 11 minutes 16 seconds, this may be the cause of your problems. Note that you must also set fork to true for this to work.
