And note that this is a big one if you are concerned about someone scraping the entire HD content and analyzing it for content they can use. There are very few applications which do not have this vulnerability. It's possible for applications to indicate memory areas which are not to be swapped out, but this is only used for special cases. (And I don't know if it's even possible in Java.) So if you have this level of concern, the only solution I know of is whole disk encryption. Personally, I'm not bothering -- but then I don't even bother with the encryption that MD offers anyway.
