The concurrent mark sweep collector (concurrent mark-sweep collector, concurrent collector or CMS)[1] was a mark-and-sweep garbage collector in the Oracle HotSpot Java virtual machine (JVM) available since version 1.4.1. It was deprecated on version 9[2] and removed on version 14,[3] so from Java 14 it is no longer available.[4] [5]
HotSpot garbage collectors
[edit ]Main article: HotSpot (virtual machine)
The HotSpot JVM selects the default garbage collector based on several factors.[6] The newer Garbage-First collector (G1) was planned to replace CMS.[7] That change was finally done in version 9.
To launch the JVM with this garbage collector you can add this property to the java command line -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC[8] [1] when using Java version less than 14.
