Heap...

Posted by jinaraj on December 04, 2001 at 4:02 AM

The area where garbage collection happens is Heap (Within the Java process). Memory is returned to this heap ony.
> Does Java's garbage-collection return the freed memory back to the system for use by other processes or can it only be used by the java process that freed the memory?

> I'd appreciate any references on this subject.

> Thanks
