Description Petr Nejedly 2001-08-30 11:25:05 UTC 
There are *BeanInfo classes which uses static images and even static
initializers holding the BIs data. This is considered a memory leak
in this context.

For loading images, use org.openide.util.Utilities.loadImage directly
in getImage without any caching (Utilities will do SoftCaching for you).

Create BeanDeascriptor and PropertyDescriptors just on demand without
any caching, Introspector will cache it itself.

Don't use static Bundles

The sources to modify which I know of:
URLDataLoaderBeanInfo.java
FullTextTypeBeanInfo.java
ModificationDateTypeBeanInfo.java
ObjectNameTypeBeanInfo.java
ObjectTypeTypeBeanInfo.java
PDFSettingsBeanInfo.java
SettingsBeanInfo.java
GroupShadowLoaderBeanInfo.java

You can look at beaninfos in org.netbeans.beaninfo for an example.
