Hey, you are very much invited to help solve this problem. OpenSource is not just a shop where everything is free and at the same time worth the equivalent of a 100'000 USD including high-grade support for another 10K a year. Do you actually realize how OpenSource works? Here at FOP we're almost exclusively people who work on FOP in their free time without being backed by an employer who sees the benefit of contributing back to an OpenSource project. There are other projects at Apache where a big company is backing a team of developers to work on the software. Not so at FOP. We would all like to contribute more to the project but in the end you have to find time to do it and you've got to buy something to eat.

If you think this is a "stupid bug", then my all means sit down and try to fix it. You'll end up with a huge pile of work. We're addressing the issue in our redesign effort along with a lot of other problems. But that obviously takes a while. Thank you for understanding. Betrand's tip implies the following: Increasing the maximum VM size will result in swapping done by the operating system if there's not enough memory. This will have an enormous impact on performance but you'll have a good chance of getting the PDF without an OutOfMemoryError. It's a tip, not a cookbook recipe. By the way, there are lots of other tips on the website to reduce memory usage.
