Say you’re uploading a fully contained artifact to artifactory. The size of
the archive is pushing 35mb and your chosen Ant task is throwing the
dreaded OutOfMemoryError.
Why?
Many Ant tasks work by forking the JVM.
The default size of the forked JVM may well need to be increased. To test this
theory, increase it to something reasonable by including ANT_OPTS.
