I can only run xdoclet a couple of times before Eclipse crashes. Is there a patch for this?

You can search the forums for more details on this, but its a known problem with Ant 1.5 and Eclipse 2.1. This was one of the driving reasons to have Ant run in its own external process for Eclipse 3.0. Aparently most of the leaks have been fixed in Ant 1.6.

There are links in the forums to many of the bug reports on the Eclipse site against Ant/Eclipse/Memory Leaks.

I’ll try upgrading to Ant 1.6 but I’m already running eclipse 3.0M8

Ahh, if you are already running Eclipse 3.0, you should have a setting somewhere in your preferences that Ant should run in its own external process, make sure to check this and you should be all set.

Yea. I noticed that Ant 1.6.1 is being used. Also it is running in the background. Shouldn’t that be sufficient?

Turns out that ant 1.5.4 was on the windoz path. Thanks for the help.

Ahh good job finding that, stray JARs in the path is a tricky thing to track down. Glad you are up and running again.
