Did you get this OutOfMemory error message from javac while compiling with ant:
“The system is out of resources.
Consult the following stack trace for details.
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space”
Well there is an easy way to fix it! first set property “fork” to true, this will allow javac to execute in a separate thread with its own resources, then you can set the values for “memoryinitialsize” and “memorymaximumsize” according to your needs. Here is a sample of how the javac task would look.
<javac
fork="true"
srcdir="${basedir}/src"
destdir="${basedir}/build/classes"
classpath="${project.classpath}"
memoryinitialsize="256m"
memorymaximumsize="256m"
/>
That’s it! I hope it helps ;)
