Using JOptionPane.createDialog to construct a dialog for displaying results in the embedded component not being GC'ed when the dialog is dismissed.  If you embed the same component within a JOptionPane.showMessageDialog you do not get a leak.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Run the following program and attach your favorite profiler to it.  Count how many JLabels are left...

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Number of JLabels shoud be 0 (zero)
ACTUAL -
Number of JLabels was 10 (ten)

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

  public static void main(String[] args) throws Throwable
  {
    // give yourself time to run profiler
    System.out.println("attach profiler now...");
    Thread.sleep(5000);
    System.out.println("running app...");

    // these JLabels don't get GC'ed :(
    for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
    {
      JLabel goodbye = new JLabel("Goodbye " + i);
      JOptionPane op = new JOptionPane(goodbye, JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);
      JDialog d = op.createDialog(null, "Goodbye");
      d.setVisible(true);
      op = null;
      d = null;
      goodbye = null;
    }

    // these JLabels GC correctly
    for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
    {
      JLabel hello = new JLabel("Hello " + i);
      JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, hello, "Hello", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);
    }
  }
}
