Thanks.
I had wrapped all my threads with pools (push/pop) just to try and
see that was happening. I'm not getting the 'just leaking' messages
any longer.
However, memory is not being released when the Java object
containing NSImages is GC'd and/or the pool is released/popped.
I've been stripping things down - running a Java class w/o JBoss
and as a single thread to eliminate variables. Still no luck.
Its behaving as if NSImage is leaking. It seems there is an OS
thread (AppKit ?) that is alloc-ing NSViews and NSImageCacheViews w/
o a pool in place these don't seem to get collected when the
NSImage is GC'd.
I'm going to put together a simple working example that can be
posted here.
Any detailed info on AppKit/etc. would be helpful/welcome.
Thanks.

Do the sub-threads need AutoreleasePools as well ?
Any thread using aspects of the Cocoa framework (or related
frameworks) runs under the assumption that the thread they are
running in has a auto-release pool in place and more importantly
one that is managed sensibly as needed (created/released as
needed, saw per event processed, etc.)
So the answer is yes. The message is directly say that is in fact
what is wrong.
I see no reason that you need to wrap the boot or main of JBoss
with a auto-release pool because neither of those are likely using
Cocoa directly and if they happen to be then the pool management
you have isn't useful because the pool exists for the life of the
JBosses main, in other words the pool would just accumulate
objects to be released because the pool itself never gets
deallocated.
