How to Handle Java Finalization's Memory-Retention Issues

Was reading about "How to Handle Java Finalization's Memory-Retention Issues" this morning. A nice article for understanding Java finalization and its dos and donts.

One could also find the weak reference been discussed for its effective use with Finalization. Check out this topic on finalization right here.

While reading about Finalization, I wandered to some other websites for reading on memory leaks. Some of them calls Memory Leaks as "Unintentional Object Retention". Thats quite expressive for memory leaks.
