Some times I ran into similar problems (maybe not be exact same problem) compiling drools-compiler module on Windows:
[INFO] Compiling 340 source files to D:\svn\drools\trunk\drools-compiler\target\ classes [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [ERROR] BUILD FAILURE [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Compilation failure Failure executing javac, but could not parse the error: The system is out of resources. Consult the following stack trace for details. java.lang.StackOverflowError at com.sun.tools.javac.jvm.Items$LocalItem.<init>(Items.java:369) at com.sun.tools.javac.jvm.Items.makeLocalItem(Items.java:111) at com.sun.tools.javac.jvm.Gen.visitIdent(Gen.java:2066) at com.sun.tools.javac.tree.Tree$Ident.accept(Tree.java:1003) at com.sun.tools.javac.jvm.Gen.genExpr(Gen.java:811) at com.sun.tools.javac.jvm.Gen.visitBinary(Gen.java:1906) at com.sun.tools.javac.tree.Tree$Binary.accept(Tree.java:926) When I had this problem, I simply do it again, most of time it helps. Note, this problem only occurs on Windows. Have not got time to dig deep into this yet.
