>> How can I specify that the JVM used by Maven may consume more memory?
> In maven.bat Specifically, you can pass an argument to any command-line invocation of Java, so this is not Maven specific. Maven.bat invokes the JVM with this evil line: %MAVEN_JAVA_EXE% -Djavax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBu ilderFactoryImpl -Djavax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.SAXParserFactory Impl "-Dmaven.home=%MAVEN_HOME%" "-Dtools.jar=%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar" "-Dforehead.conf.file=%MAVEN_HOME%\bin\forehead.conf" %MAVEN_ENDORSED% %MAVEN_OPTS% -classpath %MAVEN_CLASSPATH% %MAVEN_MAIN_CLASS% %MAVEN_CMD_LINE_ARGS% Which gets expanded to this: "D:\j2sdk1.4.1\bin\java.exe" -Djavax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.Document BuilderFactoryImpl -Djavax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.SAXParserFactory Impl "-Dmaven.home=D:\Programming \Projects\maven" "-Dtools.jar=D:\j2sdk1.4.1\lib\tools.jar" "-Dforehead.conf.file=D:\Programming\Project s\maven\bin\forehead.conf" "-Djava.endorsed.dirs=D:\j2sdk1.4.1\lib\endorsed;D:\Programming\Projects\mav en\lib\endorsed" "-Xmx160m" -classpath "D:\Programming\Projects\maven\lib\forehead-1.0-beta-4.jar" "com.werken.forehead.Forehead The key bit is the -Xmx160m part. This controls the memory allocation of the JVM. In the Maven.bat file, this happens to be in the MAVEN_OPTS variable. The options you need are: -Xms<size> set initial Java heap size -Xmx<size> set maximum Java heap size -Xss<size> set java thread stack size So, the -Xmx160m option means "set maximum Java heap size to 160MB". Change this to -Xmx256m or whatever. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
