title: A larger heap for the Gradle daemon is recommended for running jack
body: <p>Im pretty new to gradle. I currently tried to upgrade a study Android app to Java 1.8 in gradle settings in which it prompted me to enable jackOptions to 'true' so i could use lambda expressions in my app. </p>
  
  <p>This is my current gradle options:</p>
  
  <p>build.gradle</p>
  
  <pre><code>apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
  
  android {
      compileSdkVersion 24
      buildToolsVersion "24.0.1"
  
      dexOptions{
          javaMaxHeapSize "4g"
      }
  
      defaultConfig {
          applicationId "com.bmw.www.team10"
          minSdkVersion 23
          targetSdkVersion 24
          versionCode 1
          versionName "1.0"
          multiDexEnabled true
  
          jackOptions{
              enabled true
          }
      }
  
      buildTypes {
          release {
              minifyEnabled false
              proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
          }
      }
  
      compileOptions {
          sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
          targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
      }
  }
  
  dependencies {
      compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
      testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
      compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'
      compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.2.1'
      compile 'com.android.support:design:24.2.1'

  # Specifies the JVM arguments used for the daemon process.

  <p>When i try to build my project, this loops for 10 minutes in the gradle console</p>
  
  <pre><code>A larger heap for the Gradle daemon is recommended for running jack.
  
  It currently has 1024 MB.
  For faster builds, increase the maximum heap size for the Gradle daemon to at least 1536 MB.
  To do this set org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx1536M in the project gradle.properties.
  For more information see https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/build_environment.html
