StackOverflow during Maven Build

[evonox]

I am a complete newbie to Spoofax. However, if you try this SDF3 grammar, the build process terminates with StackOverflow. The steps I take is just mvn clean and mvn compile.

module Literals

imports
    Common

context-free sorts
    LiteralValue 
    ComplexLiteral 
    // LiteralList 
    PrimitiveLiteral
    LiteralBoolean
    // LiteralNumeric
    LiteralNull
    // LiteralString
    // ListElementItems

context-free syntax

    // LiteralValue = ComplexLiteral
    LiteralValue = PrimitiveLiteral

    // ComplexLiteral = LiteralList
    // LiteralList.LiteralList = < "[" elements:{item:LiteralValue ',' }* "]" >

    PrimitiveLiteral = LiteralNull
    PrimitiveLiteral = LiteralBoolean
    // PrimitiveLiteral = LiteralString
    // PrimitiveLiteral = LiteralNumeric

    LiteralNull.LiteralNull = 'null'
    LiteralBoolean.LiteralBoolean = [ value:('true' | 'false') ]
    // LiteralString = STRING
    // LiteralNumeric = NUMERIC

If you comment out the non-existent ComplexLiteral from context-free sorts, then the build passes.

Hi @evonox, sorry to see you run into this. This is most likely caused by a part of the toolchain written in Stratego, which uses a bit more stack space than the usual Java program. Try following the instructions on the website on Maven memory allocation.
