I was under the impression that primitives are heap managed when they're inside
an object:
public class Foo { public int bar; }
And of course they're stack managed otherwise:
public void func(int foo) { int bar; }

Subject: [The Java Posse] Re: Heap and Stack memory
Stack and heap are both memories of RAM. Stack is a common place for
most of memory storage. Both of these allocated memory inside jvm.
Heap is a dedicated memory storage created only when we initialize
using the new operator. They are easily freed or garbage collected
when no more required. Objects created from classes are stored in
heap. Eg int is stack managed and Integer is heap managed. Storage
algorithm is different. Stack initialized may not properly manage
contigious memory and may waste memory. Each heap initalized gets
contigious memory. After object is freed memory re-organizes to claim
original space and re constructs to leave no free space betwn two
managed objects
