Hey,

Just reading through some recently closed memory leak bugs in Eclipse 
Platform and realising
how easy it is to forget to set references to null in ones dispose() 
method sometimes ;)

The bug is at https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=436225
and gerrit is at https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/36201/17

What is noticeable here its the fixes are mainly about ensuring not to 
hold on to a selection forever
in a view. It will slowly but steadily leak over time.

Just a reminder to check ones dispose() and listener methods ;)
