Denis,
  It shouldn't matter since the Java Garbage Collector will null out the
weak reference for you.  However, explicitly removing it is a good idea
anyhow (especially since I'll be voting to have an option to override
the weak ref with a user supplied strong ref later).  I'm currently on
vacation so I can't actually try proxyFinalize2 at the moment, but it
makes perfect sense on inspection.  Thanks!

  I realized today that I need static native VTKDelete made public. 
Otherwise I won't be able to call it from my custom vtkIDisposeOnThread
implementation.
