I have specified jvmargs for pmd, findbugs and ant_opts is set to 1024M.

Are you running Hudson from the command-line or through a servlet container such as Apache Tomcat? — Bernard

If you are in windows you must edit the hudson.xml file to include the java argument -Xmx1024m, however if you're on a *nix environment you must run the command

export JAVA_OPTS=-Xmx1024m

Or a more reasonable size for memory.
