Memory leak - unable to dispose of PaletteEntry images [message #228821]

I'm using the PaletteEntry icons in an unorthodox way and
wondering how I can get a reference to the ImageCache or clear the cache
in the edit part so I can prevent a memory leak. I use the small/large
icon as a canvas and I'm continuously setting the image descriptors of
both. The image descriptors are usually different causing a new image to
be cached each time.

Is there any plans to adopt the new JFace image cache style as suggested
in the following reply in the mailing list:

"The Palette's use of a static image cache was borrowed from
ActionContributionItem in JFace. JFace has since fixed this and uses a
global reference counting solution. There should be a bug open to clean
this up but if you can't find one open another.

-Randy"

Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,

Were you able to fix a Bugzilla reference?

Cheers...
Anthony

I believe it is covered in the 154145 bug.
