Update your Android project to use java 8 and get your GC limit exceeded

Question

Yesterday, when I changed my gradle project android project to use java 8 functions:

defaultConfig {
    ...
    jackOptions {
        enabled true
    }
}

compileOptions {
    sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}

Everything was amazing. I used lambda expressions and ran the project.

But today I don’t know what happened to my project (I reset master for this "upgrade project to use java 8 functions" commit). I can not build a project. after more than 5 minutes, android studio shows me an error in the gradle console:

Exception in thread "Tasks limiter_1" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC upper limit exceeded

and he was stuck in

:app:compileDebugJavaWithJack

I noticed that the new file created "java_pid25702.hprof", which is very large (about 1.5 GB).

Android studio 2.2, java- "1.8.0_51", Mac book pro ( i7, 16 RAM), OS X 10.11.4
