Increasing max memory for ant jobs

[Narve Sætre]

Hi,

perhaps this is a noob question, but: How do I increase the memory
that hudson gives to my ant processes? Some unforkable processes
(junit-report, emma-report) gives me OutOfMemory errors, so I'd like
to increase the max memory. Setting ANT_OPTS to something useful would
do the trick if this was a command line invocation, but I don't know
how to do this in Hudson.

Hudson runs in a glassfish server that runs as a daemon, on a Linux
box. Where should I specify ANT_OPTS then?

Thanks,

There is a specific panel "Java OPtions" in the Build panel. But  
beware that some tools, such as findbugs, want their own configuration  
in their ant task (e.g.:

   <findbugs home="${findbugs.dir}"
             output="xml"
             outputFile="build/test/findbugs/findbugs.xml"
             jvmargs="-Xmx512m"
             effort="max"
             reportLevel="low" >
             <sourcePath path="${basedir}/src" />
             <class location="${basedir}/build/classes" />
         </findbugs>

Of course - I just didn't see that line :)

Thanks!

Go to: http://<server>/hudson/job/<jobName>/configure
Under "Invoke Ant" of the "Build" section you should see an "Advance" button, click it.
You should now see an extra field called "Java Options" and in there you can specify extra java options to pass to your ant build such as -Xms256M -Xmx512m.
