From
the JDK 1.1.7B javadocs for java.lang.System.
gc public static void gc()
- Runs the garbage collector.
Calling the gc method suggests that the Java Virtual Machine
expend effort toward recycling unused objects in order to make the memory they
currently occupy available for quick reuse. When control returns from the
method call, the Java Virtual Machine has made a best effort to reclaim space
from all unused objects.

- gc
 runFinalization public static void runFinalization()
- Runs the finalization methods of any objects pending finalization.
Calling this method suggests that the Java Virtual Machine expend effort
toward running the finalize methods of objects that have been
found to be discarded but whose finalize methods have not yet
been run. When control returns from the method call, the Java Virtual Machine
has made a best effort to complete all outstanding finalizations.

 runFinalizersOnExit public static void runFinalizersOnExit(boolean value)
- Enable or disable finalization on exit; doing so specifies that the
finalizers of all objects that have finalizers that have not yet been
automatically invoked are to be run before the Java runtime exits. By default,
finalization on exit is disabled.

gc
(more of a java q, but seems
fitting...)
Is there a way to force garbage collection,
such as with delete in C++?
