PMD runs out of Memory running over large source sets in versions 8.1.+

[Nocelc]

Expected Behavior

There is no way to increase the memory given to PMD to be able to run over large source sets.

Current Behavior

Worker threads will eventually crash with out of memory error.

Context (optional)

We have a very large code base and can no longer run PMD over our project without getting out of memory errors. If we could have a way to pass in JVM Fork parameters we would be able to configure the task.

Steps to Reproduce

Run PMD over a very large source set.

Gradle version

8.1.1

Gradle version that used to work

8
