Thanks for the speedy response. I have run across these types of memory exceptions in the past, but given that the build had been working correctly until I added the Maven <artifact:dependencies/> bit, I naturally jumped to the conclusion that there was something odd going on. This was exacerbated when the ant error log actually identified the <artifact:dependencies/> as the offending line in the build file. I'll play around with the memory parameters and see what happens.
Cheers, Ron Btw, is there a reference for all parameters supported by <artifact:dependencies/>?

It has to do with not enough memory to load all the classes into the PermGen space. You can read up about PermGen space to get more of an idea as well * http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/memleaks-137499.html#gbyuu * http://java.dzone.com/articles/busting-permgen-myths See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/88235/dealing-with-java-lang-outofmemoryerror-permgen-space-error for some solutions. It talks about Tomcat, but the problem occurs in command line Java. As a workaround use (or large values than 128M if needed) -XX:MaxPermSize=128M Also look at similar XX options at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/tech/vmoptions-jsp-140102.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
