java清理内存,清除Java内存

I am using Matlab 2012b to connect to another program (Imaris) from which I import data. The communication actually happens via java as interface. The problem I have is that the data is not deleted from the Java memory and piles up over time until Matlab ultimately crashes.

"clear Java" does not work and produces the following warning: "Objects of Ice/ConnectionRefusedException class exist - not clearing"

The only solution I found to really clear the Java memory is to restart Matlab, which is not an option in my case.

When searching through the web I found that quite a few people have encoutered the same problem. (http://www.mathworks.de/matlabcentral/newsreader/view_thread/283708)

However I did not find an answer how to solve the issue. Does anybody know a solution?

if you are getting messages back from clear java that there are objects of a class that exist, and clear all isn't removing them, then something somewhere has a reference to the object. this can often happen with callbacks, listeners etc, or when you add a reference to an object into an anonymous function handle or the like.

the clear commands remove the reference to the object from the workspace(s), but as the anonymous (or otherwise) reference exists in a callback the object can't be garbage collected so remains in memory (and potentially orphaned)

i see this a lot when i am lazy about writing good destructors
