You can't really _force_ the JVM to perform the GC and clean up the
heap, although you can _suggest_ it via System.gc()
You can try playing with this:
private static long gc()
{
long freeMemBefore = Runtime.getRuntime().freeMemory();
System.out.println("Free Memory Before: " + freeMemBefore);
System.gc();
try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
System.runFinalization();
Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
System.gc();
long freeMemAfter = Runtime.getRuntime().freeMemory();
System.out.println("Total Memory : " +
Runtime.getRuntime().totalMemory());
System.out.println("Max Memory : " +
Runtime.getRuntime().maxMemory());
System.out.println("Free Memory After : " + freeMemAfter);
return freeMemBefore-freeMemAfter;
}
