I think you're confusing PermGen with the old (aka tenured) generation.  Only 
instances of java.lang.Class go into PermGen (plus some internal JVM 
structures); nothing ever "jumps the fence" into PermGen.

It's impossible to prevent at least some objects from eventually migrating to 
the OldGen, since anything that persists long enough will end up there after 
some number of minor GCs.
