I think I'm going to be adding support for the manual way via
finalize() shortly.
This just got checked in to rev 377.
Can finalize be called for 'regular' Java instances, or only Python
extensions? If the later, it's gonna make writing generic code that uses
such instances harder. Actually, I'm not sure how to do such a thing...
finalize() is to be called only on extensions. Normally, the Java finalize()
method is protected, not public, and does nothing. Therefore not wrapper
is generated for it by jcc. For extensions, though, finalize() helps in
breaking the "deadly embrace" ref cycle between both VMs, Python and Java.
An example of finalize() use is to be found in test/test_PythonDirectory.py.
