All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class GarbageCollectionEvent

extends AWTEvent

An event which can be posted onto the event queue by an application to trigger garbage-collection. If the event is posted onto the event queue as the last action in an actionPerformed() method (e.g. after a menu option or button is invoked), the garbage collection will take place after the actionPerformed() method has returned. This is a useful but optional way of limiting the growth of the heap without causing noticeable delays.
