G1 PermGen Usage for JAVA 7

[susantra m]

Hello Everyone,
I have a question related to how G1 handles permgen till JAVA7 .
Basically till JAVA7 ,permgen was part of the JAVA heap , so as the heap is
divided into regions in G1 where exactly is permgen is stored  and how G1
manages that .

It seems G1 divides  heap into regions , so if i have 2GB of Heap which is
divided into regions , i would assume Permgen to be part of the regions
till i am using  JDK7 .  With metaspace it is clear cut that  it is outside
of heap .

Though i am assuming  it is maintaining permgen outside of  the heap and
they are not part of the regions ,  need some more info on this .

Need some more clarification on this  and Appreciate any help and
suggestions.


Thanks,
Sushant.
