yes we've seen this. i am not sure it has anything to do w/ Ivy. it is well noted that the ant and antcall tasks are memory intensive as they created new classloaders. you can get around this by increasing the permgen space for java when you run ant ...

$ export ANT_OPTS="$ANT_OPTS -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m"

you can probably make do w/ something <256M, but it depends on your build.

We're running out of memory in a big multi-module build, using rmic and ivy; its <ivy:configure /> or <rmic> that things break. I've tried ivy 1.4.1 and 2.0.0-alpha1.


1. has anyone else encountered memory consumption problems (out of permgenspace)?
2. this seems most common on java1.6.

I'm not sure that ivy is the problem here, we will have to track it down (somehow), and am just checking before doing anything else (like profiling the build)
