[news.eclipse.tools.jdt] Re: JavaModelCache and how to shrink it

[Gary Karasiuk <karasiuk@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm not comparing apples to apples (I wish I could)

I am using an adopting product. It's changed, the JRE has changed and the version of the Eclipse Platform has changed.

But in looking at the heap dumps the biggest single difference is the JavaModelCache. And at 63 MB that is a pretty big difference.

The nature of the problem is my customers are saying that we are using more memory (i.e. that we have regressed) from the previous version of our product. 

Is there anything that I can do to force the cache to release some of this memory?
