Package uk.ac.ebi.utils.memory

Class CleaningObject

java.lang.Object

uk.ac.ebi.utils.memory.CleaningObject

All Implemented Interfaces:

AutoCloseable

public class CleaningObject
extends Object
implements AutoCloseable

Simulates the old finalize() method in Java >= 9.

This is based on registering a new cleaner when an instance of this class (or subclasses) is created, such cleaner invokes close(), which plays the same role of the old finalizer method.

This can be useful when you have a set of classes with an old finalize method, which you can subclass, after having renamed finalize() into close().
