#230 Lockup on start if too many bots in robots dir

[Anonymous]

When starting for the first time, after having copied all bot .jar files over into the robocode/robots directory, robocode starts, but after having built the database for the first X bots it starts throwing the following exceptions to the console, and then freezes:

file:/home/jk/Desktop/robocode1.7.4b/robots/voidious.micro.Jen_1.11.jar is probably corrupted (java.io.FileNotFoundException /home/jk/Desktop/robocode1.7.4b/robots/voidious.micro.Jen_1.11.jar (Too many open files))

This is running on Ubuntu 9.04 with OpenJDK 6, however the same problem is encountered with the Sun Java6 JVM. Robocode version 1.7.4b

We do some dirty tricks with caching open jar files. To achieve good speed during game and to deal with nested jar files. See URLJarCollector.

I was unable to replicate your problem, but believe that more explicit cleanup and GC could help.

Flemming could you please provide Skilgannon with binaries to test. Thanks a lot.

Hi Skilgannon,

I have uploaded 1.7.1.4 Alpha 11 for you here with Pavels fix. I would be really cool if you could verify if this issue has been solved:
