Maybe Chet Haase's post may help you? http://weblogs.java.net/blog/chet/archive/2003/09/volatileimage_q.html Q: What's with the extra null-check condition in createBackBuffer()?
As far as I understood after a quick read, flush() frees VRAM memory and nulling thus is superfluous. But nulling the reference possibly makes the java heap space faster available for the GC.
