Looks like you are trying to outsmart the dependency management done by Spring Boot. Could you add your `pom.xml` to the question. — M. Deinum, Jan 19 '22 at 07:16

Creating native images consumes a lot of memory. This message appears when the system runs out of memory.

In this official documentation you can find some tips and tricks related to this error:

https://docs.spring.io/spring-native/docs/0.11.1/reference/htmlsingle/#_out_of_memory_error_when_building_the_native_image

UPDATE

In the referenced documentation another SO answer is referenced with more trips&tricks: How to assign more memory to docker container
