Description

During the dashboard report memory consumption of maven grows excessively. I need to set MAVEN_OPTS=-Xmx1024M to get my build through (but I still need to add more projects).

I really love maven, but the memory consumption is a big issue. I looked at commons-jelly and it seems they have fixed a quite big memory leak, and it works fine for the updated xdoc plugin, but maven itself still seems to leak.

Anyway any tips/tricks, except hoping for the next maven release?

Hi Florian,

I don't think this is a DASHBOARD plugin issue. If it is let me know how we can solve it. I suggest you open an issue for Maven itself or for the xdoc plugin if you think the problem comes from there.

Let me know when I can close this issue.

The reason I opened it against Dashboard was that this is where it becomes most obvious.

I run it without running the report goals, just the collection and summary report after everything has been built and the multiproject site goals have been run. (I had to change the multiproject though to create a new maven process for each site goal as otherwise memory would explode as well.

I didn't analyse Dashboard and don't know how it works, but from the memory consumption it seems that it just sucks all the xml docs into memory...

So I am not sure is it the memory leak in jelly in general or is there a Dashboard issue?

Florian, I think I can safely say it's not a dashboard plugin issue. The Dashboard simply calls the other plug-in goals. Leaving the issue here will not help as there's nothing I can do to fix it as Dashboard plugin developer... If you want to be heard, have a look at the Maven JIRA project. I think there is at least one JIRA issue on this topic already (there used to be at least). Don't ask me which one, I don't know...

Thanks

Talked to Vincent, he thinks it is a generic maven issue.
