Hi,

Rado pinged me today re some OOM errors whilst running the test suite. 
This is caused by the fact that the permgen options we pass to the suite are ignored:
               <argLine>-Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=1024m</argLine>
(the suite is not being forked)

In order to avoid that please update your MAVEN_OPTS, e.g.:
export MAVEN_OPTS="-Xms512m -Xmx2048m -XX:MaxPermSize=384m"

I've also updated the docs: https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/ISPN/Contributing+-+The+test+suite

Cheers,
Mircea
