Michael Osipov commented on MCHECKSTYLE-457:
--------------------------------------------
As far as I can see there basically nothing we can do from the plugin's
perspective.
> memory leak in checkstyle plugin
> --------------------------------

> Key: MCHECKSTYLE-457
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCHECKSTYLE-457
> Project: Maven Checkstyle Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: checkstyle:check
> Affects Versions: 3.6.0
> Environment: Apache Maven 3.9.9
> (8e8579a9e76f7d015ee5ec7bfcdc97d260186937)
> Maven home: c:\Java\maven-3.9.9
> Java version: 21.0.1, vendor: Eclipse Adoptium, runtime:
> c:\Java\jdk-21.0.1.12-hotspot
> Reporter: James Nord
> Priority: Major

> memory used by checkstyle:check mojo is not released after the mojo completes
> its analysis.
> In a build on [Jenkins|https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/] an analysis of
> a heapdump shows that there is 180+MB retained by the JavaLanguageParser
> !image-2025-04-11-12-55-18-038.png|thumbnail!
> After the invocation of the mojo it is expected that memory would be
> relinquished.
> h3. Steps to reproduce
> * clone https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/
> * switch to the {{jenkins-2.504}} branch
> * edit {{.mvn/jvm.config}} so it contains the following (to force running out
> of memory and providing a heap dump):
> {code}
> -Xmx500M
> -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError
> -XX:HeapDumpPath=D:\source\github\cloudbees\private-jenkins
> {code}
> * run {{mvn clean verify -DskipTests}}
> h3. Expected results
> 500M should be enough to build, or if the build fails due to memory there is
> no memory held by mojos (for part of their actions) that have completed.
> h3. Actual Results
> the build fails producing the war in the maven-war-plugin (in the war
> project).
> Inspection of the heap shows 180MB in use by
> com.puppycrawl.tools.checkstyle.grammar.java.JavaLanguageParser classloaders
