RE: [platform-ant-dev] Ant project builders in separate VM?
|
And furthermore, though an active member of the ant community, I am *not* on
a first-name basis with anyone that has constructed a build system tied to
an IDE. :)

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.
