Java: New Generation Used 100%, Eden Space Used 100%, From Space Used 100%

garbage-collectionheap-memoryjavajmapmemory

jmap -heap gives me output that says:

New Generation Used 100%, Eden Space Used 100%, From Space Used 100%, To Space Used: 0%, Perm Generation Used: 38%

Is this 100% of New, Eden, From space – a problem?

My JAVA OPTS are: -Xms10240m -Xmx14336m -XX:PermSize=192m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -XX:NewSize=8192m -XX:MaxNewSize=8192m -XX:-DisableExplicitGC -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:CMSInitiatingOccupancyFraction=60

I see a lot of quick Garbage Collection. But no memory leaks using tools like JConsole

The Memory Usage can be seen here:

JDK 1.6 is in use.

Well that is how generational collection works. You have young space (eden, from, to) and old space (tenure, perm). Young space is smaller. Once young space is full (your case) - thing called minor GC (young GC) is happening.

But minor GC should be quick. Once old space is full full GC is happening (which is more time consuming).

Idea is to have more frequent fast minor GCs and much less frequent full GCs.

Java – How to call one constructor from another in Java

Yes, it is possible:

public class Foo {
    private int x;

    public Foo() {
        this(1);
    }

    public Foo(int x) {
        this.x = x;
    }
}

To chain to a particular superclass constructor instead of one in the same class, use super instead of this. Note that you can only chain to one constructor, and it has to be the first statement in your constructor body.

Java – How to get an enum value from a string value in Java

Yes, Blah.valueOf("A") will give you Blah.A.

Note that the name must be an exact match, including case: Blah.valueOf("a") and Blah.valueOf("A ") both throw an IllegalArgumentException.

The static methods valueOf() and values() are created at compile time and do not appear in source code. They do appear in Javadoc, though; for example, Dialog.ModalityType shows both methods.
