Maven OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded

[Nike Dev]

Why when I add to my pom.xml dependencies to Robolectric library I get OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded?

My dependency:

         <dependency>
             <groupId>com.pivotallabs</groupId>
             <artifactId>robolectric</artifactId>
             <version>1.2</version>
         </dependency>

When I remove it all working fine. When I add to android-maven-plugin next strings it has no sense

        <dexJvmArguments>
            <argument>-Xmx1500m</argument>
        </dexJvmArguments>

Robolectric should only be used for running tests, and shouldn't need to be dexed into your apk.  I'd add <scope>test</scope> to your robolectric depdency.

I have the same issue as Nike Dev. When running unit tests with Robolectric 1.2 everything is fine. But when I try to start my app my Eclipse hangs and after a minute or two I get a Unhandled memory GC exception.

I do already have scope to "test":

        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.pivotallabs</groupId>
            <artifactId>robolectric</artifactId>
            <version>1.2</version>

            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>

Switching to 1.0, everything is working again, but a need 1.2 in order to use the android.util.Base64 in my unit test

Any ideas?
