[jboss-dev] testing memory leaks

Hi all I'm looking for a way to force garbage collection to run, as I need it in order to write meaningful memory leak tests. As far as I can tell, there is no way for force gc from inside the jvm, short of hacks like allocating all the remaining free memory. The best I can come up with so far is a bit of native code to call gc via the jvmti. This is a pain, as it means compiling for every test platform. Anyone got a better idea?
