build I20060208

I noticed that my heap size was getting pretty large (it's up at 215M).
Wondering whether there was a leak, I tried opening and closing various Java editors.
Although I didn't find an obvious leak, it does look like a -lot- of garbage is getting created.

Steps:
- new window in Java perspective
- close all views except Outline view
- open type on WorkbenchPage.java (with org.eclipse.ui.workbench checked out from HEAD)
- close it
- force a GC by clicking on GC button in heap status monitor
- note the heap level
- reopen the file from the File menu (Alt+F, 1)
- note the increase in heap

I'm seeing an increase of 35M.  With the Outline view closed, it's around 30M.

- close the editor
- force a GC
- it's back to the original level, indicating no major leak
