springsource platform server Build failure

[Beta User]

What is the recommended memory setting for the build. I have 2 GB RAM and it failed the third time. How can I build the springsource platform server? Or is there a binary I can download and use.

You can choose Download Option A (free SpringSource licensed binary). It's the same binary as you will get from building yourself.

I have no problem building from the source distro, so I am not sure why it's not working for you and can't shed any light on your problem... Is there anything unusual about your setup?

Hi Rod,

I do not have any special set up. I just downloaded the source and run ant dist from the build-app directory. In the end, I get out of memory error. Let me choose download Option A. Thanks so much for the post.

Hi Vigil,

set the following environment variable before running the build to solve the OOM:
set ANT_OPTS=-Xms256m -Xmx512m -XX:PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m

This is documented in the readme.txt that accompanies the source zip.

Thanks Joris. I will follow readme.txt instructions to build it. I prefer GPL license as opposed to Spring Source License
