The problem is you really can't do it on a global, JVM-scale, Peter.
It's enough that the same JVM process starts two isolated class
loaders with Lucene in each and such accounting is no longer
correct... There are also other valid reasons (the ones Uwe mentioned)
which make explicit System.gc() a non-viable option.
