[cross-project-issues-dev] tycho-gmp.gmf.tooling builds consumes enormou

[Winston Prakash <winston.prakash@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jason D./Stewart,

As per request from Eclipse foundation, I'm analyzing  performance of their Hudson instance. I noticed that tycho-gmp.gmf.tooling builds are occupying about 120 MB of memory. What is special about this job. The memory is specifically consumed by maven3 plugin data model. When I try to look at the maven3 structure UI in Hudson it spins for ever.  See the tree in the attached image. Any idea what is causing this huge memory consumption? BTW, only builds of this job seem to occupying this much memory. Other job builds consume much less memory ( < 10 MB).

A memory leak in Stapler causes GC from collecting these huge build related objects and eventually Hudson dies running out of memory.
