[jira] Commented: (MCLEAN-32) Out of Memory Error cleaning target directory with *large* number of sub-directories

["Benjamin Bentmann (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCLEAN-32?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=206099#action_206099 ] 

Benjamin Bentmann commented on MCLEAN-32:
-----------------------------------------

Also, my testing indicates that {{followSymlinks=false}} requires more memory than {{followSymlinks=true}}. So using the latter option value for projects with huge directories but knowingly no symlinks could also help.

> running mvn clean on a target directory with a *large* number of sub directories causes an OutOfMemoryError.  The plexus DirectoryScanner seems to be the major culprit from the stacktrace.
