Vincent Siveton commented on MCLEAN-32: --------------------------------------- I created a dir in target with 100 sub dirs in 3 levels so 100 * 100 *100 sub dirs. The plugin is able to clean the target. with MAVEN_OPTS=-Xms256m -Xmx256m So what is your large number of sub dir? Could you send us a test case with the env to reproduce it? > Out of Memory Error cleaning target directory with *large* number of > sub-directories > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: MCLEAN-32 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCLEAN-32 > Project: Maven 2.x Clean Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.2 > Environment: maven-2.0.8, solaris, jdk 1.6.0_05 > Reporter: Ryan Sonnek > Priority: Critical > Attachments: output.txt > > > running mvn clean on a target directory with a *large* number of sub > directories causes an OutOfMemoryError.
