Java - Anonymous Inner Class Life Cycle
<p>When using an anonymous inner class as a PropertyChangeListener at what point in the object life cycle is the class garbage collected? After the containing class (SettingsNode) is reclaimed? Should I explicitly remove the PropertyChangeListener in the finalizer of the containing class (SettingsNode)?</p>

<pre><code>public class SettingsNode extends AbstractNode
{
    public SettingsNode(Project project, ProjectSettings projectSettings)
        throws IntrospectionException
    {   
        // use an anonymous inner class to listen for changes
        projectSettings.addPropertyChangeListener(ProjectSettings.PROP_NAME,
            new PropertyChangeListener()
            {
                @Override
                public void propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent evt)
                {
                   // handle event
                }
            });
     }
}
</code></pre>
