set the ANT_OPTS environment variable to whatever JVM options you want,

eg.

setenv ANT_OPTS -Xmx1g -Xss300m

Not applicable for under-IDE builds, obviously.


The alternative would be for ERH to patch the build file with extra
compiler args


<property name="javac.args.line" value="" />
<property name="javac.compiler" value="javac" />

<javac fork="true" compiler="${javac.compiler} >
 <compilerargs line="${javac.args.line}" />
 ...
</javac>

Pre-1.5, suns Javac compiler leaked static data structures, so forking
is always a good idea. And jikes is so much faster I'd use that
wherever I could. The only reason I've stopped is that it isnt java1.5
aware yet.
