Cant we simply force garbage collection when you are done using the object? Here is a link. http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/system/garbage.html
Unfortunately, AFAIK this doesn't guarantee that all objects that could possibly be collected /will/ be collected. To check the behaviour for your JVM/app you can use the -verbose:gc of the java binary. It's also worth checking if you are using flags like -Xnoclassgc too.
