Do you happen to have observed the memory trend during a build?<br>
<br>
After a couple more attempts it passed the build once, so that shows<br>
it's possible to pass.. but even though it's a small sample so far<br>
that's 1 pass vs 3 OOMs on my machine.<br>
<br>
Even the one time it successfully completed the tests I see it wasted<br>
~80% of total build time doing GC runs.. it was likely very close to<br>
fall over, and definitely not an efficient setting for regular builds.<br>
Observing trends on my machine I'd guess a reasonable value to be<br>
around 5GB to keep builds fast, or a minimum of 1.3 GB to be able to<br>
complete successfully without often failing.<br>
<br>
The memory issues are worse towards the end of the testsuite, and<br>
steadily growing.<br>
<br>
I won't be able to investigate further as I need to urgently work on<br>
modules, but I noticed there are quite some MBeans according to<br>
JConsole. I guess it would be good to check if we're not leaking the<br>
MBean registration, and therefore leaking (stopped?) CacheManagers<br>
from there?<br>
<br>
Even near the beginning of the tests, when forcing a full GC I see<br>
about 400MB being "not free". That's quite a lot for some simple<br>
tests, no?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Sanne<br>
