public class DebugMethods
extends java.lang.Object

some small methods helpful during development, to wait before program ends to see object instance statistics, once just until return is pressed, once a loop in which one can force GC, see object statistics, etc. until one enters "x" to make the loop exit.

Method Summary

static void	doCleanupStuff(boolean doSwingCleanup) It seems this is the sequence of things needed to achieve full garbage collection/cleanup of JFrame stuff (Java 1.4.2): GC and finalization, 2 dummy frames, do the SwingCleanup hack, and once again GC and finalization.
static void	waitReturn() prints out "PRESS RETURN TO CONTINUE", and after return is pressed, prints then "OK, continuing" and returns.
static void	waitReturnLoop(boolean force) Repeatedly checks whether now all tracked objects are gone.

Method Detail

doCleanupStuff

public static void doCleanupStuff(boolean doSwingCleanup)

It seems this is the sequence of things needed to achieve full garbage collection/cleanup of JFrame stuff (Java 1.4.2): GC and finalization, 2 dummy frames, do the SwingCleanup hack, and once again GC and finalization.

Parameters:

doSwingCleanup - Whether to call the swingCleanup() method

waitReturn

public static void waitReturn()

prints out "PRESS RETURN TO CONTINUE", and after return is pressed, prints then "OK, continuing" and returns.

waitReturnLoop

public static void waitReturnLoop(boolean force)

Repeatedly checks whether now all tracked objects are gone. Each round, does GC + finalize, and asks for input. For input "s", prints statistics. For input "x", exits the loop. Exits the loop also if all are gone. If from beginning on all are gone, does not even go into the loop.

Parameters:

force - Go into loop even if allGone already returns true at begin
