[gdal-dev] Releasing OGR feature from memory in Java

[Even Rouault]

Elke,

Calling DestroyFeature() rather than delete is specific to C++ / Windows. For
Java, calling .delete() or doing nothing special is fine.

Quoting http://gdal.org/java/org/gdal/ogr/Feature.html#delete() :

"""
public void delete()

    Delete (in memory) a feature.

    Calling this method is not required as normal garbage collection will
reclaim associated resources when the object goes out of scope. Otherwise
calling delete() explicitely will help release resources sooner. Don't call any
method on a deleted object !
