The Build File Properties dialog lets you
control Ant's execution options and
environment.
Maximum Heap Size controls the amount of memory allocated to the
Ant build process. If your Ant process fails after running out of memory,
you should increase this value. The default value of 128MB is usually suf-
ficient, but it may be too low if you're using Ant to generate JavaDoc or
compile extremely large projects. Ant's memory allocation is indepen-
dent of the amount of memory used by IDEA and is released once the Ant
process has completed.
Make build in background runs Ant in the background, enabling you to
work on other things during the build. If this option is unselected (the
default), Ant displays a modal progress dialog during the build. Be warned
that compiling is often processor intensive, so IDEA may appear unrespon-
sive during compiles if you enable this option. You'll need to experiment
with this option in your environment to see if it's useful for you. You can
also build in the background by clicking the Background button of the
modal dialog, although this only applies to the build currently in progress.
Close message view if no error occurred tells IDEA that you don't want to
see Ant's Messages window if the build completes without any errors. If
you get tired of closing that window after each successful build, enable this
option. If it's selected however, you won't be given the opportunity to
review Ant's output for successful builds.
