Apache DirectMemory is a multi layered cache implementation featuring off-heap memory storage (a-la BigMemory) to enable caching of java objects without degrading jvm performance. Its main purpose is to act as a second level cache (after a heap based one) to collect large amounts of data without filling up the java heap and thus avoiding long garbage collection cycles. Included in the box is a small set of utility classes to easily handle off-heap memory buffers. ------------ Build ------------ You need Apache Maven to build the project. Just use: mvn clean install (you will have jars installed locally in your local Maven repository. NOTE: the buildnumber maven plugin which add a maven property with the current svn revision has been configured to work with svn 1.7 ---------------- Site deployment ---------------- Run: * mvn site site:stage-deploy * mvn scm-publish:publish-scm (optionnal arguments -Dscmpublish.dryRun=false -Dscmpublish.skipCheckin=false -DscmSkipDeletedFiles=true) shorcut: sh ./deploySite.sh NOTE: site is deployed using the property siteFilePath default value ${user.home}/directmemory-site-deploy, svnpub content is chechout in property scmPubCheckoutDirectory default value ${user.home}/directmemory-site-content
