Apparently, rebuilding an editor many times can trigger an OutOfMemoryError. I haven’t seen it yet on my system though, but I use -Xmx1500m -XX:+UseCompressedOops and may restart my runtime Eclipse instance more often than others do.

Karl Kalleberg traced this bug back to the application shutdown hook that is set by the STRJ runtime in certain circumstances. This should be fixed in 0.4.4.
