Back in August of 2013 I originally posted Nate and Tim's Excellent Recycle. Granted, if you are coding in XPages the OpenNTF Domino API has pretty much made the need for this method irrelevant (as the ODA's first goal is to eliminate the "ham-fisted Exception handling in the lotus.domino API"). HOWEVER, if you are doing non-XPages Domino Java code then this recycle method is still relevant.
