Silent failure when GWT runs out of memory

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Is this Maven 1 or Maven 2?
Maven 2

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a project with a large classpath and many dependencies. (All 
dependencies in my case are 
listed below)
2. Execute 'mvn compile' with the GWT-Maven plugin settings listed below.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Compilation should succeed, as expected. Instead, no errors are produced, build 
completes 
successfully, but no GWT-compiled code is output.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Mac OS X 10.5, gwt-maven beta19

GWT-Maven Plugin Settings:
            <plugin>
                <groupId>com.totsp.gwt</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-googlewebtoolkit2-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>2.0-beta19</version>
                <configuration>
                    <gwtVersion>${gwt.version}</gwtVersion>
                    <style>PRETTY</style>
                    <logLevel>INFO</logLevel>
                    <noServer>true</noServer>
                    <port>${gwt.port.hosted}</port>
                    <runTarget>${gwt.runUrl}</runTarget>
                    <compileTargets>
                        <param>${gwt.target}</param>
                    </compileTargets>
                </configuration>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>setup</goal>
                            <goal>extractGwt</goal>
                            <goal>compile</goal>
                            <goal>testGwt</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>

Work Around:
Added extraJvmArgs option to plugin configuration:
<extraJvmArgs>-Xmx256m -Xms256m</extraJvmArgs>

Adding the extra arguments perfectly resolved the issue, but there was no 
indication that a lack of 
heap space might have been the culprit. Perhaps logging a message if GWT fails 
would be nice?

Please provide any additional information below.

Thank you very much, this helped me out. I missed have been trying all kinds of
MAVEN_OPTS, but this line <extraJvmArgs>-Xmx256m -Xms256m</extraJvmArgs> solved 
my issue.

Regards. Ole Andreas
