Over 10 years ago, I wrote my first blog post. Since then, I've authored books, had kids, traveled the world, found Trish and blogged about it all.

Can you test all of AppFuse?

I'll admit, it's time for me to get a G5. I can no longer test everything in AppFuse in one fell swoop. When I try to run this Ant build file(info) (which I'd like to use with CruiseControl) on my Mac and Linux machines, I get OutOfMemory errors. My PowerBook has ANT_OPTS set to "-Xmx768m" and my Fedora Core 3 box has it set to "-Xms1024M -Xmx1024M". Both machines have 1 GB of RAM. The build dies a lot sooner on Linux (15 minutes), and the PowerBook gets really close to finishing (42 minutes). I'm guessing all the tests would take about 50 minutes on the PowerBook. There are currently 21 AppFuse combinations tested by this script. Spring is used in all of these, so I've eliminated that as a listed option.

NOTE: If you're trying this on Windows, remove the "fixcrlf" call at the beginning of the "test" target.

So, the question is - can your machine run all the tests for AppFuse? If so, let me know your specs. I'd love to get this setup for CruiseControl, but if I can't even run it with Ant, I doubt CruiseControl will be any better. I realize I could split things up, but I prefer to have one build file.
