JEP proposed to target JDK 11: 318: Epsilon: An Arbitrarily Low-Overhead Garbage Collector

[charlie hunt]

Seems with what is being proposed is essentially a “no GC” type of ability … a command line option of -XX:+NoGC or -XX:+UseNoGC would probably be better understood as to what it generally does, and the consequence of exhausting Java heap space since there is “no GC”.

thanks,
