... Why exactly do you need to know how much memory you're using, as opposed to just avoiding using it (allocating, garbage-collecting) too inefficiently? ... ...

As discussed earlier, the JVM is tuned for short lived objects, in the case of allocating inside a loop the only concern is generating the objects faster than...

Madhu - I agree with everything you said, except for a couple of points: 1) As implied by David, the statement that "allocating more memory is costlier than...

Keith, Regarding garbage collection and memory allocation, the speaker you referred to earlier was Brian Goetz. If you summarize the thread into a concise...
Sorry I didn't respond sooner - just catching up on about a month's worth of emails. The notion of a 'marker' interface is somewhat retired in Java now that we...
Keith, I'm not sure what you are trying to do here... do you want maven to *launch* your script, or are you trying to use Maven to *assemble* everything...
Dave - Thanks for responding. Yes, it is a human issue and not a compiler issue. 1) For me, having the classes defined within the method enhances readability....

Clay - Moving the classes inside the methods has nothing to do with optimization. It's about expressing more clearly the scope of the class. It's a human...
