Hi all

A heads up on building RichFaces on some Linux systems.

I was getting the following error when building

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: unable to create new native thread

in some of the JUnit tests e.g.

org.ajax4jsf.resource.ResourceServiceThreadsTestCase

This is NOT an out of memory error. The test case above creates 1000 threads and in my Fedora 9 system the per user thread limit is 1024 by default.

simply change the limit before running the build and all is well

ulimit -u 2048
mvn install
