Screenshot - heapdump - classes with retained sizes

Comment 3 Jaroslav Havlin 2014-03-28 08:55:13 UTC

NetBeans class with the highest total retained size is org.netbeans.lib.nbjavac.services.NBParserFactory$NBJavacParser$EndPosTableImpl (see attached screenshot).

This issue may be related to bug 234498.

I'm not sure whether this is a bug in NetBeans, or the Xmx JVM parameter just needs to be increased (due to size of open projects).
Reassigning to java/Compiler. Please evaluate it, thank you.

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,
NetBeans IDE 8.2 Release Boss
