Java Memory Management Tutorial with Code Examples

To demonstrate how the Java Virtual Machine performs Garbage Collection in this tutorial we are going to write a couple of simple test cases and use a graphical memory visualization tool to see in real-time what the JVM is doing when our code is running.

All the necessary instructions to replicate these tests including a link to download the source code can be found at this URL:

To follow this video you only need a very basic knowledge of Java programming (writing a "Hello World" program and basic use of an IDE such Eclipse or IDEA is enough). This video is best viewed in HD.
