UpgradeSuite and MaxPermSize

[Bryan Pendleton <bp...@amberpoint.com>]

I seem to be having some trouble running the upgrade suite,
particularly under Ant.

If I say:

   java junit.textui.TestRunner o.a.dT.fT.tests.upgradeTests._Suite

things complete without a problem.

But if I use  org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.junit.JUnitTestRunner
instead of junit.textui.TestRunner, for example when I run 'ant junitreport',
then the upgrade tests go into a hard CPU loop (under JDK 1.5), or
fail with OutOfPermGenSpace errors (under JDK 1.6).

I am using the Sun JDKs on a Linux platform.

This is somewhat similar to DERBY-2988, but this time the issue appears
to involve the "permgen" heap, not the data heap.

Does anybody else see similar problems?

thanks,

bryan

I've had to run suites.All with -XX:MaxPermSize=128M for a long time now
(I use junit.textui.TestRunner, not Ant), but I haven't checked whether
I need it if I only run the upgrade tests separately.
