Re: [eclipse-dev] No more handles in SWT, can this number be configured?

Hi Lars,

Have you investigated whether some of the handles could be avoided (eg share Font/Colors instead of recreating them, ensuring they're disposed, enabling a strategy to deactivate/dispose content of hidden tabs to recreate it later...) ?

FWIW, this is the kind of issue I didn't see for a long time, but when we faced it many years ago for some product, Sleak helped us to sort out which resource we were instantiating too much: https://www.slideshare.net/souillac/eclipsecon2010-no-more-handles and it was just always the same color we were using on many widgets and that we failed at disposing. Sleak may also have some capabilities to get system info about remaining handles.
