I'm trying to compile some code on Solaris running jdk1.3.1.
The code compiles fine in Linux in jdk1.3.1. But in Solaris when I use javac I get the error: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError.
But, if I switch to jdk1.2.2... it all compiles fine. What could be the problem with jdk1.3.1?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That is a likely case most of the time. However, the OP was compiling the code, not running it.

I was using ANT to do all my compiling. I couldn't figure out a way to pass this in to javac through it, so I just tried using javac by hand and everything worked fine. Even without the -J switch.
So I'm guessing that ANT was sucking up just enough memory to cause javac to run out?
*shrugs* it's compiled now and I'm happy. Thanks for the help.
