JabRef should release unused heap more frequently #3113

Description

@lenhard

It seems that we have a memory leak with the entry editor on current master, latest commit 0326d77

JabRef 4.0-dev
Windows 7 6.1 amd64
Java 1.8.0_121

To reproduce:

  • Open entry editor and select entry in the main table
  • Press down key to cycle through the database
  • Watch RAM consumption grow and not go down again

@JabRef/developers Please see if you can reproduce this on your system. This seems quite serious to me and a blocker for 4.0.

Any hints where this might come from are very much appreciated. @koppor Could you maybe try tracking this down with git bisect?
