I have also experienced issues with the Asciidoctor Gradle plugin and permgen. I'm not sure if this is a AsciidoctorJ issue
or a Asciidoctor Gradle plugin issue but I created a ticket to look into this [1]. In the meantime you can work around this
by ensuring the Gradle daemon is off (i.e. run with "./gradlew --nodaemon asciidoc").
