Hello all,

I have just noticed that the JFrames in my application are not being garbage
collected. Arrggghhhh!!  Consequently the memory consumption of my
application only ever goes up. This is bad....

I am using OptimizeIt 3.11 to track references to the frame objects to try
and find out why they are not being freed. After closing the frame,
dispose() is called. The references to the object that remain are:

referent of java.lang.ref.Finalizer
focusRoot of java.awt.FocusManager
referent of java.lang.ref.WeakReference (x2)
parent of javax.swing.JRootPane
nativeHost of java.awt.Component$NativeInLightFixer
nativeContainer of java.awt.LightweightDispatcher
this$0 of pbs.system.standard.gui.frame.StdFrame$n (where n is a number -
these I assume are from the anonymous event handlers: there are several of
these)

The pbs.system.standard.gui.frame.StdFrame is the base class of the frame I
am displaying.

Which of these references is causing my frame not to be GC'ed, and how can I
get rid of them?

A simple test frame I have created which is also referenced by anonymous and
standard event handling classes, as well as by a WeakReference gets cleaned
up properly. Why not this one?

Thanks in advance for any assistance,
David Sykes
