Garbage collector question

[Vincent Cantin]

... There is no way in Java to force the VM to do a full garbage
collection and

check that, although System.gc suggests that it try.

Thank you.

No .. this means weakly reachable, and *perhaps* no longer simply reachable.

Placing the reference into "yourObject" makes
it strongly reachable. So, the println message
is correct at the time it is executed.
