I agree. Static fields of classes loaded by non-bootstrap loaders
should not be part of root set.
PS. I am not sure if this is a bug with hat or with heap dumpers
(the hotspot built-in dumper and SA's dumper). I don't remember how
"roots" is filled. May be, these static fields should not be flagged
as roots?
I think this is in hat only, since HeapWalker in Java VIsualVM does it
correctly.
Bye,
