Hi
I am using SwingControl on a page of a multi page editor in a RCP
application. I noticed that the Control derived from SwingControl is NOT
garbage collected. The result is that the user has to stop the application
after a certain time because it consumes to much memory. I reported already
a bug (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=275811) but got no
answer.
I could find two problems in the implementation of SwingControl:
1. The method handleDispose is missing the code
getShell().removeControlListener(shellControlListener);
2. The method addRootPaneContainer contains the line
frame.add(applet);
This line contains the reason why the the instance of MySwingComposite
will
not be garbage collected. Unfortunately i was not able to find a fix for
this
problem yet. (I commented this line temporarily out and then, together with
the
change in the handleDispose method the garbage collector was able to remove
the
instance of MySwingComposite from the heap!)
Anybody an idea why the frame can not be garbage collected as soon as the
applet has been added to it?
Thanks
