Concurrent Mark-Sweep GC (widely referred to as CMS). G1 runs largely concurrently
with your application, but with short pauses that are more predictable than those
required by CMS. Unlike CMS, G1 also performs heap compaction to reduce
fragmentation. You can enable this experimental version of G1 with the –XX:+UseG1GC
option. More information can be found at: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/
javase/tech/g1-intro-jsp-135488.html.
Please note that although this Oracle site states that
-XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions is needed with -XX:+UseG1GC, that is no
longer the case for 6.0.08 and later. However, the Garbage-First Garbage Collector is
still considered to be experimental for this release.
jmap, jinfo, and jstack tools included in JDK 6.0.03
The jmap, jinfo, and jstack tools are shipped with the JDK, starting with release
6.0.03. For usage information, use:
# <tool> -help
Additional Java Web Start documentation
This section pertains to JDK/JRE 6.0.n only. HP-UX JDK/JRE 7.0 does not support Java
Web Start.
Information on Java Web Start technology, including developer documentation, can
be found in Oracle's documentation at: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/
tech/index-jsp-136112.html. The Oracle Java Deployment Guide for 6.0 at http://
download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/deployment/deployment-guide/
contents.html also contains useful information.
