In my perspective, there are only views.
I create objects to manipulate xml files with DOM.
When finishing with a file, all views are closed. I would like to destroy
all created objects and free memory to manipulate another xml file.

Is there a mean to destroy objects at once when disposing view parts ?

thnks for your help

It is your responsibility to know what objects need to be disposed of.
There is no automatic way of doing this. Your view will get a dispose()
call, and in there you should do the dispose of all of the objects that
need to be disposed.

If the objects you are creating are instances of Java objects, they will
be garbage collected when there is no longer a reference to them. You
don't need to destroy them. If the objects you are creating are system
resources (fonts, GCs, etc) you need to dispose of them when you are done.
