[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBAS-5252) Fix classloader leak test failures

[Brian Stansberry (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-5252?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12429353#action_12429353 ] 

Brian Stansberry commented on JBAS-5252:
----------------------------------------

This FieldGranularityClassloaderLeakUnitTestCase failure is an intermittent issue that I spent weeks chasing last spring.  Used 3 or 4 different tools to analyze the "leak"; all showed nothing but weak references chains leading to the classloader.

I'll keep running this test today in the background w/ JBoss Profiler attached; see if it fails and the analysis shows something useful. I've run it 4 times in a row now w/o failure.

In any case, I don't think this intermittent failure should be a blocker, or even really prevent closing this issue. It can be tracked separately.

> A concern is this leak is in the JDK itself, related to use of Class.forName() to provide JDK 6 compatibility.
