java switches

[Jason Rogers <ja...@tumbleweed.com>]

I am pretty sure this has been covered but I can't find it on the archives.

I am trying to build a pretty large project, and am running out of memory.
Therefore, I would like to up the max memory of java.  How can I set the
-Xmx switch when invoking Ant?

Java - J2SE 1.3.0_02
OS   - Solaris 2.7

The error I get on the command line is:
"java.lang.OutOfMemeoryError: requested <N> bytes" (where 'N' varies)

Thanks.

Set the environment var ANT_OPTS, like

ANT_OPTS="-Xmx128M"
export ANT_OPTS

in your .profile/custom build.sh/whatever...
