Description Petr Nejedly 2001-08-30 10:14:40 UTC 
There are *BeanInfo classes which uses static images and even static
initializers holding the BIs data.

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.

The sources to modify which I know of:
JavadocTypeBeanInfo.java
StdDocletTypeBeanInfo.java
ExternalJavadocExecutorBeanInfo.java
DocumentationSettingsBeanInfo.java
JavadocSettingsBeanInfo.java
StdDocletSettingsBeanInfo.java
ExternalJavadocSettingsServiceBeanInfo.java
JavadocSettingsServiceBeanInfo.java
StdDocletSettingsServiceBeanInfo.java
Jdk12SearchType_japanBeanInfo.java
JavadocSearchTypeBeanInfo.java
Jdk12SearchTypeBeanInfo.java

Also, the class AutoCommentListCellRenderer can be modified
to not hold the images itself.
Comment 1 Petr Nejedly 2001-08-30 10:16:13 UTC 
BTW: The static hoding of images is considered a memory leak in this
context.
