Scenario:

1. Create a Web project with VW framework.
2. Switch to the Java tab of the Page1 tab. Click in the editor.
3. Close the project.
4. Hit garbage collect several times.

In the profiler tool you will see that the static fields of OpenEditors, 
HintsUI and JavaSource are holding on to instances of 
JsfJavaEditorSupport$JsfEditorTopComponent.

Memory leak from static fields

Please note that these fields hold only one editor. So this is not a cumulative
memory leak. Covered by issue #100753.
