Memory leak

[stevenroose]

My system:

Arch Linux
Kernel 4.8.6-1-ARCH
64-bit i7 processor
java version "1.7.0_111"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.6.7) (Arch Linux build 7.u111_2.6.7-1-x86_64)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.111-b01, mixed mode)

I got a memory leak in Bitsquare (>3 GiB). Is there any information I can provide? I just have it running in the background. I often get notices that an exception has been caught, but if I click report to github or via e-mail, there is no information I can send along.

Maybe the OpenJDK behaves different memory-wise. I never saw more then 2 GB on my nodes (on a 16GB debian). On OSX I usually never get over 1.2 GB.
Java is greedy and takes what the OS gives. Bitsquare can also run on 200 MB...

Same issue here with almost same environment:

java version "1.7.0_111"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.6.7) (Arch Linux build 7.u111_2.6.7-1-x86_64)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.111-b01, mixed mode)

see #599

@stevenroose Try using java8 with
sudo archlinux-java set java-8-openjdk
It worked for me.

You need to use latest java version. Java 7 is not supported. I assume that is the main reason of that issue.
