I personally dislike the requirement for environment variables (or other external inputs) in a build; the build should be self-contained. If another developer comes along without ANT_OPTS set up and attempts to build your project they will get the OoM Exception and waste time tracking the issue down.
I recommend building the required sizes into your script and using fork. Phil :n.
