The problem is you really can't do it on a global, JVM-scale, Peter. It's enough that the same JVM process starts two isolated class loaders with Lucene in each and such accounting is no longer correct... There are also other valid reasons (the ones Uwe mentioned) which make explicit System.gc() a non-viable option. Dawid
