Erik, If I am understanding your problem, I think you would want to use the attributes: memoryInitialSize memoryMaximumSize
Based on the fact that you are forking, this makes even more sense. Hope this helps.

I never noticed that attribute before. Much thanks, that is exactly what I was trying to describe earlier. (Incidentally, Ant says that the "compiler" attribute gets ignored if "fork" is set to true, and in order to use the "executable" attribute, you have to set "fork" to true.) > 2) to avoid out of memory errors, set ANT_OPTS in your environment > export ANT_OPTS="-Xmx128M -Xms64M" for instance > (this only applies if you are starting ant from the command line; if > you are > starting ant from within an IDE I do not know) Indeed, I am trying from the command line but I wonder if there is a way to confirm that this environment variable is being propagated into Ant when I run Ant? I set this environment variable but it doesn't seem to have any effect on the output of a <echoproperties/> task (which is usually what I use to gauge my Ant settings). And even with the value set to "-Xmx512M", I run out of memory, so I wonder if perhaps it's not getting picked up? Any suggestions? (I'm on Win2K.) Warm regards, Erik ===== -- Copyright. Copy right.
