Description Petr Nejedly 2002-10-30 12:47:35 UTC

Periodic tasks (running in background even if the
user don't touch the IDE) are generally evil and
we should eliminate them as much as possible.

one of such periodic tasks is
ParsingSupport.DataFinalizer, which is nothing
more than a wrapper around a ReferenceQueue
doing some cleanup. The same functionality can be
achieved using the active reference queue from
utilities.

Please rewrite the DataFinalizer to it.

Comment 1 Svata Dedic 2003-01-21 16:26:04 UTC

Fixed in trunk:

/cvs/java/src/org/netbeans/modules/java/parser/ParsingSupport.java,v 
<--  ParsingSupport.java
new revision: 1.36; previous revision: 1.35

Comment 2 Petr Nejedly 2003-01-29 13:15:50 UTC

OK, the DataFinalizer is now using the ActiveReferenceQueue,
the periodic task is gone, but WTH you left there
all the unused garbage like refQueue and referenceSupportMap?
