I use
<javac srcdir="${build.RID}/Source"
        destdir="${build.RID}/build"
        fork="true"
        memoryMaximumSize="256m">
...
</javac>

>From the manual:
"The maximum size of the memory for the underlying VM, if javac is run
externally; ignored otherwise. Defaults to the standard VM memory setting."

I think you read this backwards - it says it's ignored if javac is _not_
running externally. If you think about it, this makes sense - if it's
running interally (in the same JVM as ant), the max memory size has already
been set.

Perhaps there is a way to word the documentation to be more clear...

Subject: forked javac task runs out of memory


I am running a javac task against a 1.2.2 compiler, but it is running out of
memory.  The javac task documentation says that there is a attribute for
setting the Max memory size (memoryMaximumSize), but it says that it is
ignored if you are running javac externally.

How do I set increase the memory allocation for the forked JVM?

my task implementation is:
<javac 
            destdir="${classes.dir}" 
            srcdir="${java.src.dir}" 
            debug="off"
            fork="yes"
            executable="C:\jdk1.2.2\bin\javac"
            compiler="javac1.2">

            <include name="**/*.java" />
            <exclude name="LLB_WISMO_POC/**/*.java" />

            <classpath>
                <fileset dir="./LLB_SUPPORT">
                    <include name="**/*.jar"/>
                </fileset>
            </classpath>
        </javac>
     </target>
