How would I go about disabling garbage collecting? Does the JVM support an option to prevent garbage collecting? I''m currently working on a graphics-intensive program, and the garbage collector runs every now and then, causing my program and animations to stop briefly (for about 10 seconds or so). Is there any way to prevent this? Thank you.

Yep: java -Xnoclassgc. You could also try the incremental gc with -Xincgc.

(don''t know if the Xs need to be there)

If you disable GC in this way does that mean that no memory gets released for objects until the program exits?
