Hi!

I have a quite large multimodule project with >150 modules. When
executing "mvn site" the maven-javadoc-plugin is executed with default
configuration. After some time of execution it fails in "aggregate" goal
and I get a

  Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit 
exceeded"

I know, I can adjust MAVEN_OPTS to give it more memory and I tried it with
MAVEN_OPTS="-Xmx1536m -Xms512m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m" and with
MAVEN_OPTS="-Xmx1280m -Xms256m -XX:MaxPermSize=768m". Both just leading
to another OutOfMemoryError (but no GC overhead limit exceeded).

I'm currently using maven 3.1.1 and tested with m-javadoc-p 2.8 and 2.9.1
(no difference).

So my question is: does any body have some idea how to tweak parameters
to solve this issue?

My current workaround is to disable aggregation in <reporting> section as
described here [0]. But this is really just a workaround, no solution :(

thx for your help,
- martin
