A Minor Garbage Collection is run when the Eden and Survivor Space fills. A Major Garbage Collection is run once the Tenured Gen has filled. These processes happen automatically as Java is managing them. If you would like, the Run GC button can be used to kick off a Major Garbage Collection. This does pause QIE momentarily.
