for faster build-times and reduce wall-time I would suggest upgrading base JDK to JDK 1.8.0_40-b26
I dont know if Microsoft has a internal environment/shell for devs which allows configurable heap/stack options? Since Deepal works for them can you look into configurable heap/stack options for Microsoft ?

May be we can move some modules out or find a better way to build. Deepal There is another area where help would be welcome. I did some work recently to make the build succeed on Java 7, and I know that it works on Mac OS X (because I use that OS) and Linux (because the build works on Jenkins). On the other hand, Deepal reported that he had/has problems building on Windows. A build having platform (and Java version) dependent issues is obviously bad. Personally, I no longer have access to Windows machines (and I'm not really motivated to get one running in the cloud somewhere...). So one useful contribution would be to test the build on various platforms and Java versions and help debugging issues identified.

Please subscribe to the Axis2 mailing list if you already haven't and start working on some issues. I'm sure Deepal would be happy to point out some of the most important ones that need fixing immediately. I will also try to find some time over the next couple of weeks and help expedite the Axis2 release.

Once you send around three patches we will make you a committer. Deepal Hi Hiranya/Deepal, I've also been working with synapse and axis2 in the past two or so years and have some familiarity with the code base so I too would like to contribute.

Date: June 10, 2015 12:08:33 AM PDT To: "priv...@synapse.apache.org" <priv...@synapse.apache.org> [THIS AN INITIAL REQUEST FOR COMMENTS ONLY. NOT A VOTE.] Hi Folks, It doesn't look like there's any active development happening in Synapse anymore. Here's a quick run down of our track record over the last few years: No. of commits in 2015: 2 No. of commits in 2014: 10 Last committer vote: December 2013 Last release: January 2012 (v2.1) Needless to say these are not the signs of a healthy open source project. Additionally, we have very little traffic on our mailing lists, and our efforts to do a release have been impeded by a number of factors (committers having difficulty finding time, slow release cycles of Axis2 and other dependencies etc.). Deepal is trying really hard to get an Axis2 release out the door, but despite his best efforts that release is also being delayed due to lack of time and manpower. Given this status, I'm beginning to wonder whether it's time to close down the shop, and move the project into Attic. What do you think? In my PERSONAL opinion, both Axis2 and Synapse have had a great run, and now it's time for them to gracefully retire. From the lack of mailing list and development activity, it looks like there's not much interest in these technologies any more. At least not to the point, where new releases are required -- existing users might still need patches and routine maintenance to already released code. The problems these projects attempt to solve (SOAP services and enterprise integration), have been well studied, researched and solved over the last 15 years. Many powerful and mature solutions exist (some of which are based on Axis2 and Synapse), but there doesn't seem to be any interest towards further developing these core platforms. The industry focus has shifted to other matters. However, that's just my personal view point. If the community at large believes otherwise, then we need to take a few corrective measures. Some of us need to join the Axis2 release effort, and expedite that release cycle. There's an open invitation from the Axis2 PMC, and I'm sure they will be happy to grant us commit access if any of us are willing to join. Then we need to get the Synapse release process underway, and start thinking about the future development prospects for the Synapse project. Let me know what you think.
