Description Christian Seifert CLA 2003-04-08 14:04:10 EDT 
Getting an out of memory error when compiling with Ajc 1.1 RC1. 
I know this is not very descriptive, but maybe you can point me into a 
direction of getting more output.

here some additional information though:
Code base is medium size (about 1500 classfiles)
I removed all my aspects and still receive the error.
Running it from the command line: ajc -classpath whateveritis -sourceroots 
whateveritis -d whateveritis

I believe this is a duplicate bug that says we need to handle OutOfMemory in a 
friendlier way.  Hopefully you can resolve this by following the instructions 
in the FAQ:

home/doc/faq.html#q:ajcoom

Occurs on fresh install of winXP with one simple aspect

package com.x.y;
public aspect CurrTableUpdateAspect
{
     pointcut printouts();

     before(): printouts() {
       System.out.println("*** Entering printMessage ***");
     }
     after():  printouts() {
       System.out.println("*** Exiting printMessage ***");
     }
}

There are 687 java files in the default.lst.

I've made a small update to the compiler to handle OutOfMemoryError in a much
more graceful way.

An ajc compile running out of memory will now produce the following message and 
then exit:

AspectJ <version> ran out of memory during compilation:

Please increase the memory available to ajc by editing the ajc script 
found in your AspectJ installation directory. The -Xmx parameter value
should be increased from 64M (default) to 128M or even 256M.

See the AspectJ FAQ available from the documentation link
on the AspectJ home page at http://www.eclipse.org/aspectj

updating target flag to indicate inclusion in 1.2 release.
