Java 7 Perm Gen

[Jon Masamitsu]

The removal of the permanent generation is planned for jdk 8.  It will
not go into a jdk 7 update soon.   Once it's stabilized, we'll consider
it for a jdk 7 update.

The vast majority of the current contents of perm gen will go
into native memory.  There is some that may move to the
Java heap.
