Answer 1

This error signals that the JVM running Maven has run out of memory. It is caused by maven-compiler-plugin. The best solution to overcome this issue is, edit maven compiler plugin in pom.xml as below.

<plugin>
                    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                    <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
                    <version>2.3.2</version>
            <configuration>
                 <verbose>true</verbose>
                 <fork>true</fork>
                </configuration>
                </plugin>

fork allows running the compiler in a separate process. If false it uses the built in compiler, while if true it will use an executable. Refer below link for more details
