>
> The antiGC thread was originally created to avoid the DriverManager class
> being garbage collected when no refrences existed to it and it had loaded the
> embedded JDBC driver (and hence shutting down the engine). This was an issue
> with JDK 1.1. Since Derby does not support jdk1.1 and garbage collection of
> classes is clearly defined, it is possible the thread serves no useful
> purpose.
