The current implementation of the custom hashtable doesn't adjust the key if an 
entry with the same hash value already exists. IMO the following statement is 
missing:

if (entry == null) {
  ...
}
Object result = entry.value;
entry.key = key;                  <=== missing statement
entry.value = value;

Otherwise the hash table might hang on "old" keys which could be garbage 
collect. Additionally it is confusing to see "wrong" keys in the hash table.

In JDT the hash table kept a pointer to a working copy element although it 
could be garbage collected since we exchanged the element with the original.
