Hi,

I do not think that this is (at the moment) some bare metal resource
issue. I monitored in separate xterms with top the used memeory (most of
it only 'inactive', some megabytes free, swap unused) and a tail -f of
the ports build log file; the three messages

===>  Building for eclipse-4.5.1
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not allocate metaspace: 1073741824 bytes

coming out in the same second, i.e. the VM have not hat time to fill memory;
surely it calculated somehow it needs and came to the conclusion, that
it was not enough what the system provideds in its configuration, i.e.
this is either a config issue of the kernel or of the JVM.

Yes, please do so (off list, or put it somewhere where I could fetch
it); thanks.
