MXMLC Ant task results in java.lang.OutOFMemoryError

I'm making a change to a set of code for a Flex project that I didn't write and was set up to compile using ant tasks. I assume that the codebase was stable at the last checkin but I'm running into memory issues when trying to build a project using MXMLC and ant (see stack trace below). Before, I was just getting an out of memory error. I tried using a different machine and got this more verbose exception (including problems with the image fetcher). I've tried using various versions of the SDK, I've tried replacing the <mxmlc> tag with <exec executable="mxmlc"> with no luck. Here is my java version in case that has anything to do with it:

» java -version
java version "1.6.0_20"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_20-b02-279-10M3065)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 16.3-b01-279, mixed mode)

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Give the Java-VM more heap-space, e.g.

java -Xmx1024M

or whatever you need :-). Under Linux (and probably other Unixes), that could do the trick with the ant binary:

ANT_OPTS="-Xmx1024M" ant

We were using ant to build a flex app on an individual machine (without flex builder) and the only way that solved the heap space error was to increase the maxmemory in build.xml.

Setting ant_opts and java config did not work for us.

<mxmlc file="${src-cp}/CP_main.mxml" output="${bin-dir}/CP/CP_main.swf" 
    show-unused-type-selector-warnings="false"
    static-link-runtime-shared-libraries="true" fork="true" maxmemory="1024m">

I had a similar issues with compc. The only thing that seemed to help me was to set fork="true" maxmemory="256m"
