OK, I just committed this stuff, with reference to GERONIMO-6240.
Some more hints....
I can build all the way through with
MAVEN_OPTS="-XX:MaxPermSize=2048m -Xms2048m -Xmx4096m"
I can start karaf after setting
export JAVA_MAX_MEM=2048m
export JAVA_MAX_PERM_MEM=512m
The car packaging is set up to stop and wait if it gets stuck. In an earlier
version of this you'd get the karaf console and you could use karaf commands to
investigate what was going on. For some reason this isn't working now. If you
get into this situation, you need to kill the maven java process some way.
Usually setting a breakpoint at DependencyManager line 571 will show you a
bundle that has a resolution problem that you can then fix.
The problem with the console deploy-type commands I think relates to using the
karaf RMIRegistry. I'm going to modify it so it includes the port as a service
property, then we can look for the osgi service and get its port instead of the
port gbean attribute.
thanks
