Memory leak in StringSearchModelInterpolator
--------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-5205
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5205
Project: Maven 2 & 3
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Inheritance and Interpolation
Affects Versions: 3.0.3
Reporter: Jesse Glick
Priority: Minor
Attachments: x.diff
{{StringSearchModelInterpolator}} abuses {{WeakHashMap}}; the {{Field}} values
of {{fieldsByClass}} hold hard references to the {{Class}} keys, making it
useless. Thus if you passed any {{Class}} to it, that class and its
{{ClassLoader}} and the transitive static graph therefrom would never be
collectible.
Anyway a cache is unnecessary, since {{Class}} does its own caching of fields!
Also removing the ill-conceived {{fieldIsPrimitiveByClass}} - not a memory
leak, but likely unnecessary complication.
The class is deprecated anyway, but just in case it is used by someone it
should be fixed.
