It doesn't determine = how javac behaves, so couldn't decide automagically when to stop and = restart it to conserve memory. You might try creating multiple tags and = put a different piece of your src tree into each one. Obviously this would = be difficult to maintain, but it might satisfy your requirements. =20 K.C. > -----Original Message----- > From: Alejandro Ramirez [mailto:Jano-r@wanadoo.es] > Sent: Tuesday, September 26, 2000 12:51 PM > To: ant-dev@jakarta.apache.org > Subject: [newbie] memory footprint >=20 >=20 > Hola ant-dev-help, >=20 > Ant needs 68MB RAM to compile 523 files (around 2,98MB of code). > (Win2000 + JDK 1.3 + ant 1.2alpha3). > This is an open source proyect so we don=B4t like to exclude poor > students with low end systems. >=20 > I think Ant should have an option to launch a javac each xxx files, > one task after another, to keep low memory footprint. >=20 > I read the code and it seems fairly easy to do, did I miss something? >=20 >=20 > --=20 > Thanks for your time, > Alejandro >=20 >=20
