The collector and the allocator

Java programs run in a managed execution environment. When a Java program requires storage, the memory management component allocates the application a discrete region of unused memory. After the application no longer refers to the storage, the memory management component must recognize that the storage is unused and reclaim the memory for subsequent reuse by the application or return it to the operating system.

The memory management component has several policy options that you can specify when you deploy the application.
