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 |
| Linux or Mac OS X |
export ANT_OPTS=$ANT_OPTS -Xmx1024M |
| Windows |
set 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.
