Yes, exactly. See also this thread:
<http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=618632&messageID=3465558>
And the best you can do is help you in googling for "How to destroy an
object explicitely in java" and look especially at the questions/
answers from Sun (forums, technical tips, documentation, etc.). Those
are the most reliable. Or even better post your question in the Sun
forums.
