Description

Since 1.5.1 the required amount of memory to deploy an EAR has increased dramatically.

With 1.5.0 memory settings

export JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Xmx800M"
export JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -XX:MaxPermSize=512m"

was OK. Since 1.5.1 the limits must be increased to at least 3G to deploy a 60 MByte EAR. Moreover the extract and deploy step takes forever. This makes 1.5.1 unusable.

Below is a typical stack trace:
