quarkus: Improve native image build error message

I fixed the issue by increasing the memory allocated to my docker engine. I was using Docker Desktop, so its a configuration, I did in the application

You really need to improve memory usage on this build process, I had to set 10GB !!! in Windows Docker desktop to successfully built very basic app, as it failed with 8GB.

Same issue here but with both Micronaut and Quarkus. Maybe we need to create an issue towards GraalVM itself?

LOL I got this error a minute ago. I thought it was a joke. Reminds me of Hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy and the answer to the ultimate question.

Setting -Dquarkus.native.native-image-xmx=8g and Docker RAM memory = 8g (Docker App -> Preferences) worked for me.

I get the same error with Spring Native 0.9.0, just created using start.spring.io:
