Description Jerome Lanneluc CLA 2004-09-14 12:32:08 EDT 
I20040914

We should not use String#intern() as it can prevent the strings to be garbage 
collected on some VMs. Instead we should have our own WeakHashMap to intern 
strings.
Comment 1 Jerome Lanneluc CLA 2004-09-16 11:37:44 EDT 
Implemented JavaModelManager#intern(String) that uses a WeakHashSet to intern 
strings.
Comment 2 Frederic Fusier CLA 2004-09-23 10:48:46 EDT 
Verified for 3.1 M2 with build I200409230010.
