[Building Sakai] Sakai build failure: [ERROR] BUILD FAILURE

[Steve Swinsburg]

Hi,

Yes, you could have saved yourself some time too, it's in the install guide:
https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/DOC/Install+Guide+-+Source+Install+(2.7)

The default Java virtual machine (JVM) settings are insufficient for an application of Sakai's size. As a result several JVM parameters must be increased for Sakai to run, while others may need to be adjusted for optimal performance. At a minimum add the following property settings to your JAVA_OPTS environment variable.

Unix/Mac:

export JAVA_OPTS='-server -Xms512m -Xmx1024m -XX:PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -XX:NewSize=192m -XX:MaxNewSize=384m -Djava.awt.headless=true -Dhttp.agent=Sakai -Dorg.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser.STRICT_QUOTE_ESCAPING=false -Dsun.lang.ClassLoader.allowArraySyntax=true'

cheers,
Steve
