Hosted mode memory leaks - am I missing something?

Hi,

I'm sure I'm not the only person who has ever thought that it might be
possible to use Java-based heap profiling tools to look for memory
leaks in GWT-based applications, but in practice this has turned out
to be a little frustrating because at least based on my naive
interpretation, Hosted Mode leaks pretty much every object that needs
to be invoked from the native side, apparently by design.

So my question is, am I missing something?

To be more specific about what I am seeing, I see many many objects
referenced only via the ThreadLocal "dispatchObjectCache" in
JsValueOOPHM. As far as I can tell based on searching the source code,
objects are only ever put into this cache and none are ever removed.

I have had some (apparent) success with the Eclipse Memory Analyzer,
which allows me to exclude refs via Thread.threadLocals when tracing
from GC roots, but I want to be sure that the references I am
excluding can in fact be ignored (i.e there is not some way that
objects are removed from dispatchObjectCache that has escaped my
attention.)

Thanks in advance

..Mark..
