How did Kaffe deal with SoftReferences? Did they ever go away when you
did not have a memory limit?

There is a method Runtime.freeMemory() which returns the memory available

Some applications may rely on the value which this method returns. Just
returning Long.MAX_VALUE may lead to confusion.
It can simply returns the freeMemory available to the Java object
allocation, if that's programmer wants.
Basically I think this API is only for profiling hints purpose,
meaning it has no guarantee about the real memory situation. So it's
not recommended to program the application depending on its return
value.
That's correct, afaict. Kaffe does not limit per default the amount of
memory available, allowing the gc to grow the heap as necessary. That
used to confuse some older Eclipse releases, but the bug has been fixed
in Eclipse.
