Question

Java + gwt + hibernate => the compilation has no errors
Java + gwt + hibernate + smartgwt = gc overhead limit exceeded
I just add to project.gwt.xml the string “inherits name=’com.smartgwt.SmartGwt’/” and get OutOfMemoryError
I’ve found a work-around of the same error in grails and it says I must vary the heapsize parameter of compiler. I’ve set in Idea java compiler maximum heap size = 512, 1024 and more, but still doesn’t work.

I’ve been using gwt+smartgwt+hibernate, I’ve also met this problem. But, recently I haven’t this problem.

So do you use ant build and hosted mode?
Here is my build file configuration of jvmarg value both for GWT Compile and java compile.

  <!-- add jvmarg -Xss16M or similar if you see a StackOverflowError -->
  <jvmarg value="-Xmx1025M"/> 
  <jvmarg value="-Xms512M"/> 
  <jvmarg value="-Xss16M"/>
