You're always welcome to send FO files you're having problems with.  
Note: we'd rather not get the source XML, since that is strictly  
speaking out of scope for FOP. You could perform the initial XSLT  
stage using xsltproc or any other XSLT processor, then send the  
resulting file.
If the file is significantly large, please consider mailing it to us  
off-list or make it available otherwise, just to avoid bothering all  
list-subscribers with the attachment.


As to your initial problem: like Vincent, I've never run into memory- 
related issues while /compiling/ FOP. I'd check (if possible) whether  
any restrictions are imposed at the level of the OS with respect to  
the maximum amount of memory any one process can consume at any given  
point. It may simply be that the JVM would expand the heap, but it  
cannot, since it is not allowed to do so...



HTH!

Well, I just tried to make the gnucash guide (from trunk) in pdf and
it worked.  However, there are some notes and warnings about features
not implemented, etc.  So it may make a good test case if you're still
interested.

You can send it to me (since I was the one who proposed to do so)

Great, I'll do that.  If it's large, how about a zipped attachment?
If off-list, to whom?

Yes, Andreas, I can build fop 0.95 (but with test failures, missing
fonts primarily).

I get heap space errors when trying to create a complex pdf document.
I will try the memory option to see what that does.

Am I getting this correctly? You managed to build FOP, but now have  
memory issues while formatting a document?

If so, we have a number of things to look out for:

I'm still having heap space problems running fop on Ubunto 9.04..
Anyone have any ideas about what to do next?

Thanks.

I had difficulties running the JUnit-Tests included in the
default ant target, and I always run out of memory while
building javadocs on debian-amd64 using any sun jdk I tried.
Gcj was worse, it usually failed already at the codegen target
with rather strange errors (e.g. "illegal character in XML
file" WTF?) Maybe this is fixed now, I haven't tried for a
year or so.
I never had this kind of problems while building FOP on
Windows.
