java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

I am on the latest Fedora distro, running Intellij Ultimate. I have also configured Maven Runnger VM Options as -Xmx4g -XX:MaxPermSize=4g

How could I debug why the VM Options are not getting applied to the test or why the tests even dont run with default options. Same project works perfectly fine on another machine running Ubuntu Trusty.

Solution

Installing https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/jschwart/openjdk-7/ fixed the issue. Binaries are here https://schwart6.home.xs4all.nl/fedora25/binaries/
