The best method to get number of instances created of a specific class is - , make a static 'count' varible and increment it in constructor call, so that you can access that count method through a static method like "static int getCount()" to return the no of objects created ..
Now as per Java api , there is no such method in String class, and String class is "final" , you cant create your own .
And other way to do this , might go from complier and memory management programming or ask sun .
The only definitive solution would be to run the code through a profiler.

I can't help you any further; I haven't used it since late 2003 when I was investigating it for my master's thesis.
Now I don't know about integration in Netbeans, but with its documentation you should be able to run it from the command line. [ June 01, 2008: Message edited by: Rob Prime ]
