Ant script is killed, but not with -verbose

Question

I am running ant script using ant -f build.xml . This script should compile my project and create a jar file, but a few seconds after ant starts generating the jar file, the project will be killed, and all I see is the "Killed" message in the console.

If I run the same command, but with the -verbose option, the build succeeds.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Update : This is the ant output I get:

 Buildfile: build.xml compile: jar: [jar] Building jar: /var/lib/hudson/jobs/asproj/workspace/build/asproj.jar Killed 

This is the result of dmesg, which I get after the process has been killed:

 Out of memory: kill process 16398 (bash) score 13929 or a child Killed process 1499 (java) 

So maybe it is memory related, but it is not ant jvm .. it is somehow related to the bash process.

You can increase the size of the JVM with ANT_OPTS -

 set ANT_OPTS=-Xms500m 

This sets the JVM size to 500 MB.
