USE ANT_OPTS RE: OutOfMemoryException when compiling a large project

As someone suggested earlier, define ANT_OPTS in your environment
(read the Ant documentation about using ANT_OPTS)

For example, we use

    ANT_OPTS="-Xmx1024m -Xms256m"

Then you can compile without the need to use "fork".

I used the javac "fork" option with "memoryMaximumSize=800m" and it
worked fine.   
Now I feel silly.   
  
Anyone know how to pass to javac -Xmx800m without forking?

Re: USE ANT_OPTS RE: OutOfMemoryException when compiling a large project

Posted by Phil Weighill-Smith <ph...@volantis.com>.
I personally dislike the requirement for environment variables (or other
external inputs) in a build; the build should be self-contained. If
another developer comes along without ANT_OPTS set up and attempts to
build your project they will get the OoM Exception and waste time
tracking the issue down.

I recommend building the required sizes into your script and using fork.

Phil :n.
