Hello ! I could not go around outOfMemory pbs using antcalls for recursive build.xml - I tried 1.4, jikes and latest ANT beta - and so ended up with the following:
<java classname="org.apache.tools.ant.Main" fork="true"> <arg line="-Dlog4j.configuration=log4j.properties -f types/build.xml main"/> <classpath refid="ant.class.path" /> </java> also on all the generating tasks such as javac, xdoclet, xlst and so on. -> having fork and classpath as defaults options in the base org.apache.tools.ant.Task class so that when fork=true the task.execute call is launched in another JVM would save some time and would always be usefull. wat's ur opinion ? thanx. seb.
