[65cat] [j2ee] java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space
I frequently encounter an "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space"
exception when in heavy development mode with lots of changes to files
and redeployment of a web or J2EE application (without restarting a
server). I had this problem a LOT more frequently with Glassfish 1 than
with 2, but it still rears it's ugly head from time to time.
I believe this is a long standing issue with many application servers.
I'm wondering, though, if it should be the responsibility of the IDE to
work around this problem, perhaps 'guessing' or 'deducing' when the
problem is likely to occur.
I'd like to file an issue for this, but I'm also looking to the dev team
for some feedback on this first.
Thanks, Don
