    Java Heap Permanent Generation

    ramboid

      Why would jstat for -gcutil report about 60% of the permanent generation is in use when the maximum size is at least three times larger that the amount in use?  Below are the results of the jstat output.  With a maximum PGCMX=262M and a PGC=71M, I was expecting that the percentage in use would be P < 30%


      pbsi:/root> jstat -gcpermcapacity 6003 && jstat -gcutil 6003
