Hi All,
Please review a memory leak issue in javax.swing.border.TitledBorder
where it is seen that TitledBorder instances are never freed. This leak
is an aftereffect of JDK-8152159.
This is because
javax.swing.border.TitledBorder.installPropertyChangeListeners() creates
an instance of an anonymous inner class that implicitly holds a
reference to the containing TitledBorder class.
Proposed fix is to make it a named static class so that it does not hold
reference and can be garbage collected.
Bug:https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8204963
webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~psadhukhan/8204963/webrev.0/
8152159 testcase also worked well.
Regards
Prasanta
