Hi,
I am trying to compile over a 1000 files within the javac task within ant
and the reply that I am getting back said that I had run out of memory
msg =
compile:
[javac] Compiling 1213 source files to D:\ECM_EXTRAS\ANT1.4\classes
[javac] The compiler has run out of memory. Consider using the "
-J-mx<number>" command line option to increase the
maximum heap size.
I then used the memoryMaximumSize option on the javac command within ant
and got the following;
[javac] Compiling 1213 source files to D:\ECM_EXTRAS\ANT1.4\classes
[javac] -J-Xmx1000m is an invalid option or argument.
[javac] Usage: javac <options> <source files>
[javac]
[javac] where <options> includes:
[javac] -g Generate all debugging info
[javac] -g:none Generate no debugging info
[javac] -g:{lines,vars,source} Generate only some debugging info
[javac] -O Optimize; may hinder debugging or
enlarge class files
[javac] -nowarn Generate no warnings
[javac] -verbose Output messages about what the
compiler is doing
[javac] -deprecation Output source locations where
deprecated APIs are used
[javac] -classpath <path> Specify where to find user class files
[javac] -sourcepath <path> Specify where to find input source
files
[javac] -bootclasspath <path> Override location of bootstrap class
files
[javac] -extdirs <dirs> Override location of installed
extensions
[javac] -d <directory> Specify where to place generated class
files
[javac] -encoding <encoding> Specify character encoding used by
source files
[javac] -target <release> Generate class files for specific VM
version
Then I tried the -v flag and got a big output I have trimmed to what I
think is relevant.

I tried the memoryMaximumSize at the beginning and at the end of the javac
task in the build file and it did not make a difference.
Just to make sure I wasn't going mad I tried the command on a single file
just to make sure the syntax was correct.
D:\ECM_EXTRAS\ant1.4\cmp>javac -J-Xmx50000000 *.java
RVWCarConstants.java:17: Package com.quidnunc.fj.common.constant not found
in import.
import com.quidnunc.fj.common.constant.*;
It came back as I expected.
I tried the bug
