Re: checking garbade collector

Hello...

With that kind of function :

  public static Date testDate(String StrDate)
  {
    SimpleDateFormat fmt;

    f = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
    f.setLenient(false);

    try
    {
      return fmt.parse(StrDate);
    }
    catch(ParseException e)
    {
      return null;
    }
  }

I suppose fmt will be destroyed by the garbage collector when I will
get out of the function.
But, Do you know a method to "see" when the garbage do this ?

Overall, do you know How can I just really see what's free and what is
not ?
May be with finalize, but not very cool...

Thanks...
