JVM Heap Dump Analysis point to sun.awt.windows.WToolkit?

Question

I am analyzing memory leak in our application. After some investigation using Eclipse Memory Analyzer I recognized that the root which 'keeps' all references is `

sun.awt.windows.WToolkit

And now I don't know how to interprate this result. I thought that sun.awt.windows.WToolkit shouldn't cause leaks. Maybe anyone has a suggestion how to interprate this result?

One of our ideas which we try to check is that it is caused by JIDE library which we are using http://www.jidesoft.com/ but it is hard to say if it has anything to do with it.

Calling ilog.views.chart.IlvScalableFontManager#dispose solved our problem.

See Class IlvScalableFontManager
