Attempting to allocate 256M bytes

There is insufficient native memory for the Java
Runtime Environment to continue.

Possible reasons:
The system is out of physical RAM or swap space
In 32 bit mode, the process size limit was hit

Possible solutions:
Reduce memory load on the system
Increase physical memory or swap space
Check if swap backing store is full
Use 64 bit Java on a 64 bit OS
Decrease Java heap size (-Xmx/-Xms)
Decrease number of Java threads
Decrease Java thread stack sizes (-Xss)
Disable compressed references (-XXcompressedRefs=false)
