Then, install the VisualVM GC plugin. Run the GCTestMain main, using these JVM arguments: -verbose:gc -Xms256m -Xmx256m. THen connect with JConsole and with VisualVM (I downloaded the one from the main website.... beware that there can be issues on connection when running on Windows when the username has uppercase characters (Windows sucks, don't forget).
