I was trying to track down memory usage in my software but Netbeans' Profiler "Live Results" and "Memory Snapshot" reported 300k allocations out of a 500MB heap. Eventually I managed to reproduce a simple test-case that demonstrates how the Profiler Snapshot view is filtering out important information. PS: Heap Dumps show the leaked BufferedImage that Snapshot misses, but it isn't obvious how to track down the leak back to the source (Snapshots would be good for that).

Turns out this is fixed in Netbeans 6.9. PS: I am running build 1.7.0-ea-b100 so perhaps this issue was Java7 specific.
