Out of memory errors on compile

[Marc]

Hi,
I'm having some OutOfMemory errors when trying to compile a project with some child flex projects... is there any way to specify the max memory value for the compiler?

thanks,

Hello,
Sometimes Maven will fail when running the test cases with this error. This means that Maven has run out of available system memory.

To increase the memory available to Maven, the environment variable MAVEN_OPTS should be set to the value -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m, or more depending on the amount of memory you have available on your machine.

To make this variable permanent on Windows, use the Control Panel -> System dialog. Select the Advanced tab and click Environment Variables. Under the System Variables table, click New. Type MAVEN_OPTS for the Variable name and -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m for the Variable value.

Thank you.
