There appears to be a memory leak in the groovy ant task. This becomes apparent when calling from one ant file to a number of others, each with a groovy task.

I performed the following tests:

• Increase the complexity and memory used of the groovy script in ant. This had no effect.
• Increase the number of groovy tasks in a single ant script. This had no effect
• Increase the total number of ant scripts called. This showed memory growth.

The following message is typical:

BUILD FAILED
D:\projects\config\build\temp\build.xml:13: Following error occured while executing this line
D:\projects\config\build\temp\dependencies.xml:87: Following error occured while executing this line
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError

I have attached a demonstration ant build system similar to our project build where the problem first occurred. For best results set the JVM memory via the ANT_OPTS environment variable to something like 16 Meg ie:

set ANT_OPTS=-Xmx16M

and then run ant.
