Two versions of code, one compile failure with java.lang.OutOfMemoryError

Question

I Have two cvs versions of one package. The differences between the two are minor, and I'm only trying to make the root version look like the latest branch. When I compile the branch, which has more code, things are fine. When I comple the root version I get
java.lang.OutOfMemoryErrorSInce I can compile one version, it is clearly not the case that I lack RAM or something like that. What might the problem be? Thanks.

I'm compiling and I'm doing it with ant. As I said,
it works fine with a slightly updated version of the
Java package I have, but has this error while doing
the same compile on the cvs root version of the
package. I'm just trying to prepare for mergning the
new code but can't compile the basic version of the
package.Then, as already stated, the difference between the two versions is enough to cross the threshold of heap memory available to the VM that's running the compiler. Ant lets you provide VM options to an externally invoked VM. See its docs for how. If you're using fork="false", then just change or add -Xmx in ant.bat or ant.sh.
