Hi Ted, I once encountered this same problem that maven_opts was resetted after mvn clean install was run. Please check if you have c:\documents and settings\<username>\mavenrc_pre.bat on your system. If yes, further check if it set the value of MAVEN_OPTS.
FYI. I can build geronimo trunk (Revision: 1021600) on my windows XP with maven_opts="-Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m" Janet On Tue, Oct 12, 2010 at 6:48 AM, Ted Kirby <[email protected]> wrote: > On Mon, Oct 11, 2010 at 7:52 AM, Kevan Miller <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > > On Oct 10, 2010, at 1:04 AM, mohamed.chebbi wrote: > > > >> hi > >> > >> i'm tring to build geronimo from trunc > >> > >> but i still get : > >> > >> java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space > >> > >> > >> with mvn clean install > >> > >> > >> i have MAVEN_OPTS set to: > >> > >> %echo $MAVEN_OPTS > >> -Xms256m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m > > > > Mohamed, > > Please don't post the same question to both our dev list and our user > list.
