CleanerFactory's class comment says it is for use "within OpenJDK modules",
so I don't think it is expected we need to create a separate one for each
module but I have not read enough of the review threads etc to be sure
if there was any caveat to that.
Assuming it is OK I think for such new usage it would make sense to use the
singleton Cleaner.
I think you will have to add a qualified exported to java.desktop as I
do not
suppose one exists right now.
It has been mentioned a few times to perhaps migrate Disposer
These existing uses would need to be examined carefully to ensure
they can be safely migrated but you don't need to wait for that.

Phil,
I started changing the Marlin OffHeapArray class to use the new jdk
internal Cleaner instead of my own solution (ReferenceQueue +
PhantomReference + Thread). Or should I use the java2d Disposer instead ?
It seems working well and many lines are removed.
Do you plan adding a shared Cleaner instance (Thread) for java2d as
the java.base module will have ?
Probably it is also applicable to the sun.java2d.Disposer ?
It would reduce the number of running threads to dispose / free
resources !

Laurent
