If the OOME occurs, the garbage collector has already been called - doing so explicitly won't help. Which version are you using? Ant 1.5 has a known memory leak in <ant> and <antcall> if you use nested <property>/<param> tags. 1.5.1 is supposed to fix that. > but it seems a little ridiculous that ant takes 80 MB to compile the > source. That could hint that javac and not Ant is the problem. You could fork <javac> or use jikes (or any other compiler you like) to get around known resource leaks in javac itself.
