If using dev:restart with Karaf 2.2.9 with Equinox, the size of the permanent generation increases drastically:
Permanent generation on initial start: $ jmap -heap 27384 [...] PS Perm Generation used = 50648144 (48.30183410644531MB) After dev:restart, perm gen size is about 75% bigger: $ jmap -heap 27384 [...] PS Perm Generation used = 88594176 (84.489990234375MB) I haven't tried this with Felix, but is this a perm gen leak, or an unavoidable consequence of the mechanism dev:restart uses?
