Hi all,
I find Groovy caches Class instances with strong reference[1][2], which
will prevent Class instances unloading and may cause memory leak.
Should we replace strong reference with soft reference? Any thoughts?
Cheers,

every ClassLoader has a strong reference to the classes that ClassLoader
defines. What we have to be careful of is not to keep references to
other classes. Do you think this is violated?
