--------------------------------------
Just for reference, some useful articles on eclipse and how to find memory
leaks with its Memory Analyzer Tool (MAT):

Note that FindBugs say nothing during analysis of sources ...
> Memory leak: Window icon ImageListenerList retains reference to closed

> When a window or dialog is opened which has an icon, after it is closed it
> cannot be garbage collected because a reference is retained to it through the
> icon. Removing the icon resolves the issue.
> As far as I've investigated, the issue appears to the in the
> ImageListenerList which each Image contains. I've done a heapdump of my
> application and used the IBM HeapAnalyzer which shows this list containing a
> reference to the window/dialog through the ImageViewSkin, but I don't know
> the Pivot internals well enough to see where or how it should be released.
> I'll attach a simple test application to show the issue.
