Hi all,

I want to check my application for memory leaks. Can you help me?

I installed JProfiler 8 and attached it to debug moded jetty (ran from 
eclipse plugin) and checked the live heap objects. Every created component 
exists in the heap and never gc'ed until page refresh. When i looked at the 
objects i cant see a circular reference (incoming refs) except some 
com.gwt... classes in fields named target and/or source. Is that normal in 
Debug&DevMode ran from Eclipse since not translated to Javascript?

One more related important question is;
I have a composite widget named Form. Its a composition of objects and 
handlers. It has 3 textboxes and 1 button defined as global/field in class 
and created in class constructor and put to a SimplePanel area via Grid. 
Button has an anonymously implemented click handler. In JProfiler the 
anonymously implemented class instance exists in the heap and never gc'ed 
(same as above case, Debug&DevMode from Eclipse). And the button and the 
composite instances seem to be cycle referenced because of SimplePanel 
doesnt release inner widget. So i invoked SimplePanel object's 
setWidget(null) on onUnload but didnt remove buttons click handler.
At this point; Can i accept these as normal and wont worry about memory 
leak? or is that a really problem and i should nullify button,textboxes in 
the onUnload method? In anyway do i need to remove click handler from 
button?

Thank you all.
