Description Jiri Sedlacek 2006-08-11 16:29:39 UTC 
The special HashMap used in HeapWalker creates a memory mapped file in 
temporary directory, it can be over 100MB. On Windows these files aren't 
removed after HeapWalker or NetBeans are closed, leaving them in the 
filesystem. This can cause serious problems when filling up all disk space as 
typically TEMP directory is located on system volume on Windows.

This is Windows only issue caused by JDK bug #6359560
Comment 2 Tomas Hurka 2006-08-11 16:46:39 UTC 
Workaround was used to fix this problem. Files are deleted on subsequent NetBeans startup.
