What is the garbage collection algorithm (just the name, not the code) that is used by default in JDK 1.5? Anybody have a link to a list of defaults like that?

Thanks!

Lynn.

I believe it's called the "Generational Collector" but I can't find a solid reference at the moment.

There's this:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/vm/gc-ergonomics.html

Which implies that the previous info from here:

http://java.sun.com/docs/hotspot/gc1.4.2/#4.%20Types%20of%20Collectors|outline

Still applies.
