Re: [platform-ant-dev] Ant project builders in separate VM?
|
It's my belief that "no one" (<.01%) uses Ant to run tasks that require
you to be inside the same VM as Eclipse. In fact, I'd say I'm on a
first-name basis with almost everyone who does. :)
The reason I asked about running in a separate VM for builders was just
to make sure that there wasn't some technical limitation I was
forgetting. We made the judgment call that Ant should run in a separate
VM by default back in October
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=45899); there was just a
technical limitation preventing us from doing it for builders.
