Yes, that's one way.

In pure Java agents, you don't need to do that because once the agent
is dropped the garbage collector will take care of the rest.

Btw, I've noticed in some Java models people will subclass from SwarmObject.
There's no real need for that; it's better to have pure Java objects.
