[news.eclipse.tools] Re: Does 2.1 have a memory leak?

[rowland@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Rowland R Johnson)]

I posted the following to the eclipse.platform newsgroup. I suspect it is
the same problem you are seeing

I'm running Eclipse 2.1 on Windows XP. Each time I switch to different
view the memory usage goes up. However, if I minimize the window that
Eclipse is running in then that memory gets released. I can then restore
the window without reverting to the original memory usage size. It is as
if memory being used for the display of a non-displayed view isn't
released until the Eclipse window is minimized. Is this correct behavior?
I can easily reclaim 100Mb with this minimize/restore "trick".
