Cool. I'll create the report in JIRA. I started looking through the code in SVN. I haven't done Eclipse plugin dev in a long time, and can't take the time to learn/setup a plugin dev environment right now. Maybe in a week or so. Just looking through code in SVN trunk though, I doesn't look like the label images used in the tree are ever being disposed. The ImageManager creates the image here: public static Image getImage(String filename) { | if (null == filename) return null; | ImageDescriptor temp = getImageDescriptor(filename); | if(null!=temp) { | return temp.createImage(); | } else { | return null; | } | } They get used in OutlineLabelProvider here: public Image getImage(Object anElement) { | if (null == anElement) | return null; | if (anElement instanceof Item) { | return ImageManager.getImage(((Item) anElement).getTreeImage()); | } | else { | return null; | } | } And from what I can see, they are never disposed. My guess is that the outline labels are reconstructed quite often, and so more and more images get created but never disposed. Assuming SWT images are immutable and can be reused, the fix could be as simple as modifying OutlineLabelProvider to cache the images in a map by filename. Then, making sure they are reused on every call to the provider. (Should also dispose them when the OutlineLabelProvider is disposed, but if the images are being reused, it probably doesn't matter much.)
