Is it possible to run garbage collection on a particular instance of a class?

Probably not.

That is what I thought.

Another problem would be how to do the call, as any usual method needs a reference to the object, yet that is the object we want to GC.

So I guess user one (this is a web app) consumes the memory and user two gets to wait while the GC runs :-))

Thanks!
