Memory leaks in JAVA..

Whenever question was asked about Memory management in JAVA (vs) Memory management in C++, the only thing I knew of is that

- in C++, memory leaks can occur and programmer needs to take care of them by writing cleanup code. and there is also a problem of dangling pointers.
- Clearly in JAVA, garbage collector takes care of memory management, in the sense, it cleans up all the objects to which no references are left. Clearly problem of dangling pointers is addressed. But Is it the same case with Memory leaks ?

There is more to memory leaks in JAVA - some good links.
