If you are working with large documents with extensive metadata or key references, you will need to
increase the memory allocation for the Java process. You can do this from the command-line prompt for a specific
session, or you can increase the value of the ANT_OPTS environment variable.
Procedure
-
To change the value for an specific session, from the command prompt, issue the following command:
| Platform |
Command |
|---|
| Windows |
set ANT_OPTS=%ANT_OPTS% -Xmx1024M |
| Linux/OS X |
export ANT_OPTS=$ANT_OPTS -Xmx1024M |
This increases the JVM memory allocation to 1024 megabytes. The amount of memory which can be allocated
is limited by available system memory and the operating system.
-
To persistently change the value, change the value allocated to the ANT_OPTS environment variable on your
system.
