-----------------------------------
Summary: SoftRefReleaseThread might leak
Key: VFS-548
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VFS-548
Project: Commons VFS
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.0
Reporter: Bernd Eckenfels
Priority: Minor
The lock-free but non-strict initiallisation of the SoftRefReleaseThread might
in rare condition construct but not start Thread objects. This is actually a
leak in older java versions (and I think causes a threadgroup to not be
destroyed in newer versions). In any case, this optimization is not needed as
it is on a cold path, so using synchronized to set the new value is perfectly
fine. (especially as the thread constructor uses synchronized methods anyway).
