I have a question regarding the hard references and memory management.

Consider in  org.jmol.g3d.Platform3D;
the field:

Image imageOffscreen;


To my understanding a
private java.lang.ref.SoftReference<Image> imageOffscreen;
public getImageOffscreen() { ... }
would be more appropriate than this hard reference.


Or is there  a different memory management implemented that I have missed?


Motivation:

For  Jmol views which have not been painted for some time (iconified, other 
browser tab)
the memory should be made available to other processes.
