In the #2, is there any chance for other components to be notified about
unloaded classes?
Alex,
I asked Aleksey about the same feature some time ago. I was interested if
it's possible to deallocate profiler's data in EM for unloaded methods. The
answer was: OK you will get a callback from VM. So, this feature is in the
design. Let's wait Aleksey to give us more details about it.
Hmmm... Yes, some more details would be nice.
If I get it right, in case of automagic unloading, GC does all the job
without a knowledge whether it collects a class, a classloader or
whatever else.
Perhaps I'm missing something, but to provide a callback on class
unloading, the GC must know the semantic of the object being collected.
?
