Message:

Does java garbage collection return memory to the system?

Posted by Satish Gupta on December 03, 2001 at 7:57 PM

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
