Do you store large amounts of objects in Hashtables, or Vectors ? Don't forget to remove them when they are not needed anymore. Or use WeakReferences which can be reclaimed by the GC. Same with listeners, as already mentionend. When you don't need the listener anymore, remove it. Generally, it's a good idea to set unneeded references to null. Swing is a memory hog, of course. But it doesn't produce memory leaks just by itself.
