Actual, in Java the System.gc() is merely a suggestion. Garbage collection
will still only happen when "the time is right".
The destroy() method can be used to free up resources, but garbage
collection does not necessarily occur at that time. Again the VM is in
control of when GC actually occurs. Us mere mortals can merely make
requests. ;^)
