RE: [aspectj-dev] Bugzilla Bug 44215 : Out of Memory null point er exc

["Ron Bodkin" <rbodkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

One work-around is to break your project up into smaller projects. Another one is to turn off structure model generation.

As the thread that Ron referenced points out (http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/aspectj-dev/msg00593.html), increasing the number of aspects in the project significantly increases memory requirements (I don't know how much subsequent optimization has improved on this).
