A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
BasicListUI uses a CellRenderer pane to paint the renderer component
retrieved via getListCellRenderer from the JList instance. CellRendererPane paint the component but it never removes it from its component hierarchy.

This has huge impact. Jlist can produce dynamic renderer component instances in getListCellRenderer method. Each one of these instances
will linger in memory because it remains in the component hierarchy of the CellRendererPane.

Methods with a bug in BasicListUI:

protected void updateLayoutState()
protected void paintCell()

This bug is present in all 1.3.x versions and 1.4.x versions

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Inspect the source code! It's that simple. Look at javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicListUI.java

The original code:

/**
     * Paint one List cell: compute the relevant state, get the "rubber stamp"
     * cell renderer component, and then use the CellRendererPane to paint it.
     * Subclasses may want to override this method rather than paint().
     *
     * @see #paint
     */
    protected void paintCell(
        Graphics g,
        int row,
        Rectangle rowBounds,
        ListCellRenderer cellRenderer,
        ListModel dataModel,
        ListSelectionModel selModel,
        int leadIndex)
    {
        Object value = dataModel.getElementAt(row);
        boolean cellHasFocus = list.hasFocus() && (row == leadIndex);
        boolean isSelected = selModel.isSelectedIndex(row);

        Component rendererComponent =
            cellRenderer.getListCellRendererComponent(list, value, row, isSelected, cellHasFocus);

        int cx = rowBounds.x;
        int cy = rowBounds.y;
        int cw = rowBounds.width;
        int ch = rowBounds.height;
        rendererPane.paintComponent(g, rendererComponent, list, cx, cy, cw, ch, true);

        if (layoutOrientation != JList.VERTICAL) {
            updateHorizontalLayoutState(fixedCellWidth, fixedCellHeight);
        }
    }




EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The renderer component gets removed from the component hierarchy of the CellRendererPane after its painting is done.
ACTUAL -
ALL instances of a renderer linger in memory and are never garbage collected

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
The fix is simple. Add a line of code to each one of the buggy methods
as done below with the ///FIX comment.
