Description Jaroslav Tulach 2014-12-12 10:21:24 UTC 
It is essential to allow Java object passed to JavaScript world via @JavaScriptBody[1] annotation to be garbaged collected once.

The goal of this issue is to track creation of TCK checks to verify the proper behavior and also enhance API when necessary to give API developers tighter control over the GC behavior.
