out of memory with javac

[Mike Pedersen <mi...@oracle.com>]

Hello all, I'm attempting to compile a project which contains about 1300 
source files on solaris.  When using ant 1.3 or 1.4latest alpha I get the 
following error.
     [javac] The compiler has run out of memory.  Consider using the 
"-J-mx<number>" command line option to increase the maximum heap size.
     [javac] Compile failed, messages should have been provided.

Smaller projects build successfully on this configuration.  I've noticed 
that the javac task doesn't have a maxmem option like the javadoc 
task.  I'm wondering what the best way with in ant would be to increase the 
available memory?  This project does build successfully on my Windows box.
Thanks much for any help.

(Guess I should probably add this one to the FAQ.)
