A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
Currently there is no simple way to claim global\shared resources consumed by an instance of a object. There is no guarantee that a finalize will ever execute in an object.

JUSTIFICATION :
This enhancement will allow developers to optimize desktop applications meanwhile taking advantages of the built in Garbage Collection

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Add following methods to the java.lang.System class

//Returns true only and only if the given ref points to object thats not been
//finalized and can be finalized
 public boolean isGarbage(WeakReference ref) {
  
 }

//Call finalize on the object the given ref points to only and only if isGarbage()
//returns true for the given reference. Other wise NoTGrabgeException is //thrown. This method does not gurantee that memory heap used by the object //ref points to, is reclaimed.
 public void finalizeRef(WeakReference ref) throws NotGarbageException {

 }

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
Not the best way to do this just proving a point


public class ConnectionPool{
  
 private static WeekReference connectionRef_;
 private static Connection connectionSingleton_;
 
 public static Connection get(){
 // blah blah
 }
 
 private static void autoCloseConn(){
  connectionSingleton_=null;
  if(System.isGarbage(connectionRef_))
   System.finalizeRef(connectionRef_);

 }
}

public class ConnectionConsumer{
 private void consume(){
 Connection conn =null;
  try{
   conn = ConnectionPool.get();
   //blah blah
  }
  finaly{
     WeekRef ref =conn;
     conn =null;
     if(System.isGarbage(ref))
      System.finalizeRef(ref);

  }
 }

}
