> Finalizer in XRTreeFrag (xalan.jar) causes lots of loitered objects. Since there is a clean up method destruct() available and all the clients should call this clean up method rather rely on finalizer.
> Because of finalizer in this class these objects gets put on finalizer queue and dont get cleaned when they go out of scope. Finalizer is provided probably as a safty net here but this is hurting swearly.
> The fix should be simple remove finalizer from this class. I have tested it and it did clean up the resources and fix the memory leak.
> The attached snapshots should help to explain this fact (both leaked Objects and after the fix no memory leak because of XRTreeFrag).
