Garbage collection

[Alexsandra Carvalho]

Hello all,
I would like to know if in code bellow there is a scenario "islands of isolation."

   
class ClasseB  {

}
 
public class ClasseA {
  ClasseB classeB;

  public static void main (String args []) {
     ClasseA classeA = new ClasseA();
     classeA.classeB = new ClasseB();
     classeA = null; 
  }
}

My doubt is if the object referenced by classeA.classeB after classeA = null will be elegible for garbage...
Thank you,
Alexsandra

Yes it will be eligible for GC.
