Destruction of resource objects

[Richard Eckart de Castilho <ri...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

apparently external resource objects which can be accessed via the ResourceManager, e.g. implementations of the Resource (like DataResource or ParameterizedDataResource) have a "destroy" method. Interestingly, the SharedResourceObject interface doesn't define such a method. Also, it seems that the "destroy" method is never really invoked for external resources. It appears to be reserved mainly for analysis engines, readers and consumers.

Am I overlooking something?

Cheers,

-- Richard

My guess is that you're not overlooking anything, and this is simply a bit of
unfinished implementation.
