ANT deployment error: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError

[TehNrd]

Any one know how we can allocate more memory to ant for deployments? In windows we tried creating an enviromental variable with name =  ANT_OPTS and value = -Xmx640m but this made no difference.

Any other ideas?

I am also getting the same ANT error: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError : java heap space

when trying to retrieve the EmailTemplates, dashboards and Documents.

I guess its because it has large number of records. But earlier when i tried retrieving all( EmailTemplates, dashboards and Documents) at a time, it gave me limit exceeded 1500 rows error. After i changed to any of these types for retrieval it gave me the above error(java.lang.OutOfMemoryError : java heap space).

Can anybody please suggest the solution for this?

TehNrd, 

  Did u get any solution for this?

Regards,

We ended up created a environmental variable that allocates alot of memory:

 ANT_OPTS=-Xmx1024m

You don't actually have to wait for ANT to return the results if you monitor the deployments in the UI, as soon as it completes with no errors, you can close the command prompt window and it will still deploy successfully.
