  ****************************************************************
  EGL code generation produces lots of huge java classes,
  during the Java search (called by Annotation indexer), big
  number of Java elements were created and held in memory,
  this could cause a OOM error combined with other background
  running tasks.
  

Problem conclusion

• Changed to call a new JDT search API to improve the memory
  usage in RAD 7.5.5.2.
  

Temporary fix
