Hello,

I'm trying to implement some OCL validation into my RCP Application. To do so, I'm using Accuracy (a plugin that comes from KitAlpha and that allows you to register your OCLs as EMF Constraints) and I noticed that every time I called the Diagnostician from my Editor and then closed the editor, my model wasn't freed by the GC.

After futher investigation, it appeared that org.eclipse.emf.validation.internal.util.TextUtils keeps a static reference to my model's eobject.

And here is how it happens:
- AbstractOCLModelConstraint.validate calls AbstractValidationContext.createFailureStatus
- which calls TextUtils.formatMessage
- which calls TextUtils.formatScalarValue
- which calls TextUtils.getText
- which calls ComposedAdapterFactory.adapt (via its static attribute 'factory')
- which calls ComposedAdapterFactory.getFactoryForTypes
- which calls ComposedAdapterFactory.addAdapterFactory that adds my ItemProviderAdapterFactory to its 'adapterFactories' attribute.

As a result of that, I have TextUtils that has a final static reference to a ComposedAdapterFactory which contains a reference to my ItemAdapterFactory which contains a reference to my XXXItemProvider which contains a reference to my XXX eobject via its target attribute.

So my main question is : do I have a bad setup that leads to this issue, or is the static factory of TextUtils the issue here?

Maybe I don't read everything correctly, but shouldn't Resource.unload()
clear the adapters list for every object, which in turn would call
unsetTarget() (BasicNotifierImpl$EAdapterList line 150) so maybe the
issue is somewhere else?

OK, I'll probably look stupid, but I just didn't know about the Resource.unload() method...

It seems to fix the issue, so yeah, thank you!

If it appears it doesn't solve the issue, I'll come back to this topic, but I have good hopes it's ok now.

Thanks again.
