I changed a number of things so I'm not sure exactly which one did the trick ... but I think we can make a good guess. :-) Oh, and this is all with Maven 3.0.3. I finally upgraded my system from 32bit to 64bit (GNU/Linux). I also went from the Sun JDK (1.6.0.32) to IcedTea (7.2.1). Finally, I upgraded the Maven Compiler plugin to 2.4. I believe it is mainly the first two changes that fixed things. Strangely enough, I can now run the full build with only 1GB (and I could probably use even less). I had 2GB before and that was still not enough... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
