[GWT] Java heap exception during compilation

See original GitHub issue

Issue details

It’s not possible to have big assets in the assets folder for html. GWT throws a Java heap exception during compilation.

@mgsx-dev was very kind and found the problem, it is happening during md5 calculation, specifically this line: https://github.com/libgdx/libgdx/blob/665f920902e543856fdd7d496f6ec422affd46d1/backends/gdx-backends-gwt/src/com/badlogic/gdx/backends/gwt/preloader/PreloaderBundleGenerator.java#L170

Reproduction steps/code

Create a libGDX project and add a huge asset to the assets folder (I tried with a 300MB gltf file with 4k textures) and run ./gradlew html:dist

Version of libGDX and/or relevant dependency

1.10.0 and probably older versions too

Please select the affected platforms

I just tried it… I dropped a 6.5GB file into assets and ran a build with no issues (aside from it being exceedingly slow to copy a 6.5GB file multiple times but I wanted to try a ridiculously large file, because why not. I can put up a PR for review, it’s pretty simple.

Ah, OK, that explains a good usage for HTML here. I’ve been very cautious about using large files on GitHub Pages after a few of my repos had to be basically wiped because there was too much storage space used.
