FreeBSD Land:
I've seen this question asked on this very list, and once or twice on  
the web, but have yet to find a solution.
I'm attempting to compile jdk15 on an older machine, and at first  
attempted it on a 4.11 install. The failures there encouraged me to  
finally upgrade the machine to 6.0.
So now, I have a fully patched, fresh 6.0 installation. The machine  
has 128MB physical ram, and I doubled the default swap space. When I  
continued to run into memory errors while attempting to compile the  
jdk, I added an additional swap file of 512MB. Even with all this  
additional swap space, I'm getting the following compilation error  
every time:
`/usr/ports/java/jdk15/work/control/build/bsd-i586/hotspot-i586/tmp/ 
bsd_i486_compiler2/jvmg'
gmake[3]: Entering directory `/usr/ports/java/jdk15/work/control/

Stop in /usr/ports/java/jdk15.
Does jdk15 really require more swapspace? I don't making the  
additional swap file larger, but pushing 1GB of swap already is  
leading me to believe there is another cause.
Any help is greatly appreciated, as I'd really like to get jdk15  
installed and running on this specific machine, despite it's age.
Cheers,
James
