How to increase Sonar java heap size?

I am analyzing quite a large project with Sonar. The first few runs went OK but now I get error. Something to do with timemachine and violation analyzer:

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded
at 
org.sonar.plugins.core.timemachine.ViolationTrackingDecorator.mapViolations(ViolationTrackingDecorator.java:131)
    at org.sonar.plugins.core.timemachine.ViolationTrackingDecorator.decorate(ViolationTrackingDecorator.java:70)

I execute Sonar using ANT. Can I increase the java heap size somehow?

The Sonar ANT task executes as part of ANT so you need to set the JVM heap using the standard ANT environment parameter. For example:

export ANT_OPTS=-Xmx256m
