Hi Stephano, Your JAVA_OPTS settings look OK. It seems rather odd that this is failing on a simple Ant command (which should NOT be using that much memory). Do you have a lot of other software running on this server which could be using memory? It almost sounds like Java just cannot even find enough memory to perform its necessary tasks.
So, for example, since it looks like you are on Linux, you might want to see if most of your memory is already in use. One way of doing so is by running: free -m This will return three lines, the "-/+ buffers/cache" line is the one which will show the actual estimate for your amount of "used" vs. "free" memory. Here's more details on understanding the results returned by 'free' command: http://www.infoworld.com/t/linux/making-sense-of-memory-usage-linux-196126 Essentially, I'm worried that you may be already using much of your 4GB of memory elsewhere, especially if you are running other software on that machine (even if it is just Tomcat and a database). So, no matter how high you set JAVA_OPTS, it's possible that there's just not enough memory to go around. If you have other things running on the server (e.g. Tomcat or a database), you may try stopping those temporarily while you run the 'ant update' command (as stopping them will obviously free up any memory they were using and make it available to your "ant update" command). - Tim On 7/31/2014 3:39 AM, Stephano John wrote: > Dear Tim, > > you asked me two questions > > * How much memory do you have available on the server? > The server has 4 GB > > I have increased the allocation to 1024MB, i still get the same error. > > JAVA_OPTS="-Xmx1024M -Xms512M -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8" > PATH=/etc/java-7-openjdk/bin > JAVA_HOME=/etc/java-7-openjdk. > > But is this the correct way of doing it?
