Use of enum prevents a classloader from being garbage collected resuling in out
of memory exceptions.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: LANG-262
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-262
Project: Commons Lang
Type: Bug
Environment: All
Reporter: Neil Redway
Priority: Critical
When an enum is created it is placed in the static hashmap - cEnumClasses. If
the enum is created from a classloader which has a limited lifetime then due to
the strong reference the classloader is never garbage collected resulting in a
memory leak.
I believe that making the cEnumClasses a WeakHashMap should resolve the problem.
