| The management interface for the garbage collection of
the Java virtual machine. Garbage collection is the process
that the Java virtual machine uses to find and reclaim unreachable
objects to free up memory space. A garbage collector is one type of
MemoryManagerMXBean memory manager .
A Java virtual machine may have one or more instances of
the implementation class of this interface.
An instance implementing this interface is
an MXBean
that can be obtained by calling
the
ManagementFactory.getGarbageCollectorMXBeans method or
from the
ManagementFactory.getPlatformMBeanServerplatform MBeanServer method.
The ObjectName for uniquely identifying the MXBean for
a garbage collector within an MBeanServer is:
ManagementFactory.GARBAGE_COLLECTOR_MXBEAN_DOMAIN_TYPEjava.lang:type=GarbageCollector ,name=collector's name
A platform usually includes additional platform-dependent information
specific to a garbage collection algorithm for monitoring.
