Jason van Zyl commented on MNG-3320: ------------------------------------ This is for the embedder that was in 2.0.x which is no more. I don't run into problems with the new embedder. But if you have a test case, or can describe what caused the failure reopen the issue for the 2.1.x embedder. The 2.0.x version is defunct. > Avoid perm gen space out of memory errors > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-3320 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3320 > Project: Maven 2 > Issue Type: Wish > Components: Embedding > Affects Versions: 2.0.5 > Reporter: Cédric Munger > Assignee: Milos Kleint > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 2.1-alpha-1 > > Attachments: mavenEmbedder.txt > > > Each maven embedder instance is using his own classworld, the problem is that > the creation of multiple maven embedder instances can lead to perm gen space > errors, since each embedder classworld is filling the perm gen space memory > area with new classes, out of memory errors can occurs quite easily. For > some unknown reasons, this memory is never garbaged collected (at least on an > MacOSX 1.5.0 JVM). A Shared classworld between all embedder object instances > could avoid this potential problem. A modification of the 2.1 embedder API to > choose between these 2 modes (own classworld or shared) could be a good thing. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
