Latest netbeans repeatedly failed to build for me.

It might be that setting ANT_OPTS=-Xmx512m or similar in the ebuild will help. As the build takes quite a long time on my system, I won't try this today.

This is from the ebuild: ANT_OPTS="-Xmx1g -Djava.awt.headless=true" So the build might need even more memory when building 'doc'. If you really do not need javadoc documentation to netbeans code then you better turn 'doc' USE flag off. This way netbeans is built "pretty fast".
(In reply to comment #2) > So the build might need even more memory when building 'doc'. Yes: build successfully with -Xmx1536m in 120 minutes user time. > If you really do > not need javadoc documentation to netbeans code then you better turn 'doc' USE > flag off. This way netbeans is built "pretty fast". I guess I'll do so in the future, once I've verified it's really memory what's causing these problems. Thanks! I guess there are a lot of developers out there who want documentation for most stuff they install "just in case", and who therefore have the doc USE flag on. So if netbeans docs are exceptionally resource-consuming, maybe some kind of warning or a differently named FLAG would be in order. I don't know.
Martin, thank you for finding the right value and testing the build. I put -Xmx1536m in ANT_OPTS in case 'doc' USE flag is used, committed in -r4. I also put info about the 'doc' USE flag to http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Netbeans so ppl can find out how to avoid long builds if they do not need the source documentation.
dev-util/netbeans-6.8_alpha2 fails due to lack of memory even without USE=doc. This on a system with around 3GB of free RAM+Swap. The failed target was all-mobility.jsr172 I guess there should be a binary package for netbeans, or some adjustment to the build system, as this kind of build process really isn't feasible.
i had no issue building netbeans-6.8_alpha2 using the ebuild so i have no idea why memory was sufficient on my system but is not sufficient on your system. any idea what could be the cause? i use: $ java -version java version "1.6.0_16" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_16-b01) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.2-b01, mixed mode)
(In reply to comment #6) > any idea what could be the cause? i use: Current system VM needn't be the build VM. From the build log: !!!

USE=netbeans_modules_mobility? Disabling that single module made my build work. All other modules were and still are enabled. I guess my system, 32bit ~x86, might have something to do with it as well.
that was just to show what jdk was used to build netbeans. here is my netbeans config: dev-util/netbeans-6.8_alpha2 USE="debug -doc" LINGUAS="cs -ar -de -es -fr -gl -id -it -ja -ko -nl -pl -pt_BR -ru -sq -sv -tr -zh_CN -zh_TW" NETBEANS_MODULES="apisupport cnd dlight enterprise ergonomics groovy harness ide identity java mobility nb php profiler ruby websvccommon"
