I'm going to manage native C++ object's lifetime by creating a managed wrapper class, which will hold a pointer to the native object (as a long member) and will delete the native object in it's overridden finalize() method. See this question for details.
The C++ object does not consume other types of resources, only memory. The memory footprint of the object is not extremely high, but it is essentially higher than 64 bit of a long in Java. Is there any way to tell Java's GC, that my wrapper is responsible for more than just a long value, and it's not a good idea to create millions of such objects before running garbage collection? In .NET there is a GC's AddMemoryPressure() method, which is there for exactly this purpose. Is there an equivalent in Java?
