Possible memory leak in Eclipse 4.3 [message #1053068]

Hey,

For some time now as I've played around with Eclipse 3.4 latest release,
I've noticed that leaving Eclipse open overnight, will cause it to run
out of memory and hang until I forcebly kill the process.

Today I downloaded the Eclipse MAT and took a heap dump off the hung
Eclipse instance.

It turns out that over 80% of the heap is allocated to a single instance
of org.eclipse.emf.ecore.resource.impl.ResourceSetImpl.

Here's the summary from a leakhunter:

One instance of "org.eclipse.emf.ecore.resource.impl.ResourceSetImpl"
loaded by "org.eclipse.osgi.internal.baseadaptor.DefaultClassLoader @
0xc0eb38c8" occupies 805 647 760 (81,47%) bytes. The memory is
accumulated in one instance of
"org.eclipse.emf.ecore.resource.Resource[]" loaded by
"org.eclipse.osgi.internal.baseadaptor.DefaultClassLoader @ 0xc0eb38c8".

I have not made any serious analysis on the heap dump, but on 800MB out
of 900MB for a single object seems kind of excessive...

This is already fixed in master since some time.
