Dear David, thank you for the advice concerning memory mapped files. Though this are interesting topics, the ideas do not solve my problem. The memory leaks occur due to extensive formation of strings, arrays of strings and other objects, but not from file accession.
The problem is to free the memory occupied by objects that are no longer needed; obviously, the invocation of System.gc() does not really help. Perhaps this problem is hard to solve in Java? I need a mechanism that is similar to the concept of a C++ destructor or something like Graphics.dispose() but suited for instances of any class. Doesnt there exist something stronger then just to rely on the garbage collection? Another thing that would help is to overcome the daunting 1GB RAM limit for java when calling the virtual machine with the Xmx attribute. Is there a trick to make the whole 2GB RAM available to Java?
