Description Petr Nejedly 2001-08-30 11:01:23 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.

The sources to modify which I know of:
TomcatDataLoaderBeanInfo.java
DWEditorSettingsBeanInfo.java
ServletSettingsBeanInfo.java
JspLoaderBeanInfo.java
JspServletDataLoaderBeanInfo.java
ServletDataLoaderBeanInfo.java
DelegatingFileSystemBeanInfo.java
WebClassesLoaderBeanInfo.java
WebContextLoaderBeanInfo.java

Please also remove the static image from:
WebInfObject.java 

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