[jira] Updated: (SUREFIRE-465) Add numeric option for forkmode param

     [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-465?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Dan Fabulich updated SUREFIRE-465:
----------------------------------

    Fix Version/s: Future

Perhaps more plausible might be to fork a process on a per-package basis.

> PermGen memory becomes very full for large sets of junits.  So much so that unless I turn on <forkmode>pertest</forkmode> I have to up my MaxPermGen to over 300m  (we have 2600+ tests)
> Since that slows the tests to a crawl, and since using that much perm space causes problems with virtual memory paging I'd like to see if an option to fork on every n-th test could be added.
> ie: <forkmode>100</forkmode> would create a new fork for every 100 tests.
> I'll dl the source and see if i can submit a patch here too.
