[news.eclipse.technology.memory-analyzer] Inconsistent display of HashMa

[slotties@xxxxxxxxx (Stefan Lotties)]

Hi,

I just opened two heap dumps and noticed a HashMap having String's as keys 
and wondered why the keys were so big. 

The display looks like this:

HashMap
- table java.util.HashMap$Entry[xxx]
-- <class> java.util.HashMap$Entry[]
-- [yyy] java.util.HashMap$Entry @ 0x...
--- <class> java.util.HashMap$Entry
--- key java.lang.String @ 0x... some_string (retained heap: 24)
---- <class> java.lang.String
---- value char[zzz] @ 0x... some_other_string (retained heap: 30,336)

I'm a little bit confused why the key-Member has actually a very low 
retained heap size and displays a different string than the char[] inside 
the String which has an even bigger retained heap size. This can be seen 
on every HashMap-Entry I checked from this map (it contains actually 
> 100.000 elements ;). Is there anything I'm doing wrong in my very simple 
assumption that the key should be the same as the char[] inside it?

Regards,
Stefan
