Hi All....
yea thats true that we can't force for Garbage Collection.
We can send a request by system.gc(); at any time but its
not sure that garbage collection takes place at that time.
It depends on memory. So we cant forcr fot GC either
sending the explicit request.

Answer / mohit
Hi Friends.. System.gc()does not forcefully to gc.it request
only.it has only 10% chance to run gc.but if u use
thread.sleep(1000);it has chance 50% to run gc.but if u use
for(i=1;i<=1000;i++)
{
System.gc();
}
so it has 99% chance to run gc.because gc release the memory
only when heap is full otherwise JVM is very lasy.....
