    Hello Group,

    I'm working on a seminar talk about generational garbage collection in the
    Java HotSpot enginge. Now most things are quite clear to me, but there's
    a question I didn't find an answer yet:

    On a minor collection, how can I move Objects, say from Eden to SS#1,
    without touching the old generation? What if an object from the old
    generation refers to one in Eden? I mean, when at the same time they stop
    using handles for object references...

    Any hint's or (even better) references would be helpful to me. Thanx alot!

    Marc
