java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space - Cause and Solution

The error was (in maven):
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

Solution:
If you build with maven:
MAVEN_OPTS="-Xms512m -Xmx768m -XX:PermSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m"
AND
JAVA_OPTS="-Xms512m -Xmx768m"

If you use other tools, check their OPTS configuration - may be there is analogue.

EJBCA with jboss

EJBCA 4.07 supports jBoss version 5.1 but not jboss 6.0 or jboss 7.0. I checked with jboss web profile and with full version too.

The error message is in ant command

ant bootstrap

The error was:

"package javax.ejb does not exist"


So how i resolved it? I returned to jboss 5.1. :(
