Exactly this as the point I wanted to express. Even when coding an fpc 
application or library for use with  jvm, free (and destroy) should be 
used and provided in the normal way good old Object Pascal requires. If 
jvm does garbage collection under the hood  (and not momentarily adheres 
to free, as we are used to with Object Pascal) this should be handled as 
a hidden implementation detail and as little as possible be communicated 
outside, so that  using this code in another regular mode objfpc 
unix/win32 application can be done as seamlessly as possible .
