Henri Yandell updated LANG-262:
-------------------------------
Fix Version: 2.2
> 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
> Fix For: 2.2
>
> 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.
