who destroy static variables(no instance of class)
Hi,
I have created a class that contains one static variable and one static method.
the method fills the variable and this method is called without classinstance(as it is static).
My question is: what happens to my variable after it is used? the garbage collector destroys it?
The static variable will live as long as the class is loaded in the JVM. When there are no more instances of the class being ran in the JVM the class will be unloaded and the static variable will be eligable for garbage collection.
