Monitoring finalization activity

[Andreas Loew]

Hi Taras,

you should be able to use BTrace (i.e. dynamic bytecode instrumentation) 
and register a probe on calling into the finalize() methods of the 
classes you want to monitor (the probe can then do the counting):

Hope this helps & best regards,
Andreas
