This is very interesting - is there any sample code one can learn from to build something in this style of programming ? Especially the deployment - do you have a scheduled that triggers GC or do you simply kill and restart, etc.

Actually you can trick the JVM to run a Full GC. If you run:

    jmap -histo:live <PID>
it will show a memory map of all the live objects and since java needs to run a full GC cycle to do that it will actually run a Full GC.
