OutOfMemory exception when using Maven in ant

[Ron Bets]

Hi there,

 

I am trying to incorporate Maven dependency management into my ant build as 
follows:

 

        <artifact:dependencies pathId="my.dependencies.class.path">

            <dependency groupId="org.lib"

                        artifactId="libtools"

                        version="1.1.1"/>

            <dependency groupId=" org.lib "

                        artifactId="otherlib"

                        version="1.1.1"/>

            <remoteRepository refid="archiva.repository"/>

        </artifact:dependencies>

 

When I do a clean build, i.e. 'ant clean my-target', I get the following 
exception:

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

 

Can someone help explain what is going on here and how I might mitigate this 
problem?  Once I have this working for the first classpath, I plan to change 
all my classpaths to use the repository, but this looks like a bit of a 
show-stopper.

 

Thanks in advance,

Ron
