Hi Rajeshwar
The methods are basically equivalent. Both suggest to the JRE that
it might be a good idea if the garbage collector actually does some work
now.
Specifically, System.gc() is a static method so it's a wee bit more
convenient to use rather than having to do e.g., Runtime.getRuntime().gc().
Thanks
