Description Mario Fusco 2014-01-08 15:37:10 UTC 
When using the dynamic optimization, mvel holds a reference to the current ClassLoader causing a potential PermGen leak that is evident especially when multiple KieBases are created.

Switching to the reflective optimizer fixes this problem.

Comment 3 Edson Tirelli 2014-01-08 20:04:55 UTC 
This is a memory (permgen) leak. The fix is critical for 6.0.0.GA. Rajesh, QA, can you please review and set the flags. We have the fix, just waiting to cherry-pick into 6.0.0. Thank you.

I was unable to reproduce this issue with BRMS CR1. I have reviewed the code change that was done and it seems to fix the original issue.
