How to configure memory params for Javac task?
Hello --
I'm trying to use Ant to build a large source tree, but get the following
error:
---------------------------
The compiler has run out of memory. Consider using the "-J-mx<number>"
command line option to increase the maximum heap size.
---------------------------
I couldn't find any way to set this for the JavaC task. I tried the jvmargs
property as defined in the Java task, but that didn't work either. Is there
any way to configure the -mx and -ms switchs for Javac?
Thanks.
Ramon

Ant, AFAIK (and I'm pretty sure of this) only runs one JVM and starts all
of it's actions (except things which are exec'd) in that process.
Therefore the place to change these is in the shell script which runs and
(ant/bin/ant on UN*X, ant\bin\ant.bat on Windoze).
Your other option is, of course, to compile less files in each task.
