Description Naci Dai CLA 2005-05-21 04:10:51 EDT 
Publishing with gereric servers causes out-of-memory exceptions after a couple
of republishing sequences.

This is probably due to the use of internal AntRunner.  Ant has a bug, which
prevents it from garbage collection classes that are loaded with each run.  This
memory leak accumulates very quickly especially when ant publishing uses
external admin tools (i.e. jonas / weblogic etc.)

The solution is to switch to AntLuancher, which will release the memory once the
publish sequence is completed.

I will swicth the launcher used by Generic Servers.

Yes, as we have talked I am aware of that and I will drop the fix for it with
some other changes.
Comment 2 Gorkem Ercan CLA 2005-05-26 18:05:43 EDT 
The fix is in the HEAD, AntPublisher uses the AntLaunchConfiguration instead of
the problematic AntRunner now.
Comment 3 David Williams CLA 2005-06-15 01:32:36 EDT 
Changed Version field given new release numbering.
