Theconcurrent mark sweep collector (concurrent mark-sweep collector,concurrent collector orCMS)[1] was amark-and-sweepgarbage collector in theOracleHotSpotJava 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 15 it is no longer available.[4][5]
The HotSpot JVM selects the default garbage collector based on several factors.[6] The newerGarbage-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 javacommand line-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC[8][1] when using Java version less than 14.
