The heap dumps is full of javac classes. Please investigate, thanks.

I have a new information. OutOfMemoryError error appears when NetBeans automatically "Downloading HTTP Javadoc". NetBeans memory grows over the 700MB.

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,
