Re: [Cobertura-devel] Cobertura Limits

[Steven C. <ste...@re...>]

We changed our code recently to include the ability to flush cobertura 
data in our JVM at any point using the suggested code in the FAQ page. 
Is this going to help remove this memory limit? We set our heap space to 
-Xmx1400m which I believe is really high, and it did not solve the issue 
with memory.

The JVM never shut down, but at the same time, when running fitnesse tests, I was getting nothing but failures. I could run all my tests uninstrumented, and they would all pass. This happens after I run several hundred tests though, so I'm assuming I must be hitting a limit.
