In the latest release 1.6.0_14 (6u14) , a new G1 garbage collector is included.
To try G1, specify these command line options:
-XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+UseG1GC
In addition, the following options can be used to affect G1's behaviour:
- To set the max GC pause time goal in milliseconds that G1 will attempt to meet:
-XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=<x>
- To set the time interval over which GC pauses totaling up to MaxGCPauseMillis may take place:
-XX:GCPauseIntervalMillis=<x>
But before you try on this new G1 garbage collector, you need to obtain the Java SE for Business support contract. Seem like the Oracle phenomena is stared.
