I get an OutOfMemoryError when opening a large jar file (13 megabyte) in the Favorites tab. See attachment for thread dump.
Created attachment 17625 [details] Thread dump of OutOfMemoryError
Thrown during icon resolving performed by Java support. BTW: What library is distributed as a 13MB jar file? Also can you give us details about IDE build, JDK, platform your configuration?
I am unable to reproduce it. I tried it with rt.jar, opened several packages. The memory (even the max heap size) does not go over 30MB. If it still happens to you, please reopen and provide more info (build number, how many packages/directories in the jar you expand).
If your unable to reproduce then resolve as worksforme and not fixed.
Better resolution.
We've made a big amout of performance fixes expetially when it comes to memory footprint. I guessed that thanks to these changes the problem no longer occurs, that's why I originally marked the issue as FIXED.
This is NetCAT issue, updating summary accordingly.
