You should check the Sun website for configuring the garbage collector. If memory is reserved once, you can't get it free. Check for Xmx and Xms parameter. There are also parameters for older and younger segments and the ratio of it. You should also change the minimum amount of memory that should be free before the garbage collector starts to free memory.
http://java.sun.com/docs/hotspot/gc/ Hope that helps. Maybe you can start gc methods from within a jelly script. It is helpful to start jvm with -verbose:gc. Check where the most memory (memory increase)will be consumed. Otherwise you or the developer of the plugin should use a profiler Heiko -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Dienstag, 4. November 2003 18:37 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Memory error I'm running Maven on a reasonably large project, and when I generate the website (site:generate), the memory usage gets obscene. The PMD and Checkstyle plugins in particular seem to suck up huge amounts of memory, and then hold on to it. By the time velocity is transforming the documentation, 200MB of memory are being used, and it gets to be too much, and an OutOfMemoryError gets thrown. I could probably deal with this by just increasing the max memory allocation, but it seems that some tasks / goals are holding onto memory they don't need. The earlier tasks should all have completed and dumped to files shouldn't they? What's hanging on to the references? Anyone have a workaround other than just upping the memory limit on the JVM? And who knows the preferred way to comment on this to the development team, a bug report or on the devel list?
