Even if it was possible, don't do it.
Let the JVM deal it, you don't want the JVM wasting time on GC if your
website is hit really hard unless really nessessary.

Don't rely on GC being done in the near future, actually you shouldn't rely
on garbage collection being done at all.
That's actually a common problem when using files in java, that people rely
on GC to close them, it can crash you application if you do. (Yeah this can
even crash Velocity or Turbine, if you are really unlucky.)
So start using try/catch/finally to close your files.
