Defining the JVM Heap

The article starts by saying that "The Java Virtual Machine heap is the area of memory used by the Java Virtual Machine (and specifically HotSpot)"NagaSrinivas (talk) 19:42, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Heap is an area defined in the JVM Spec - which despite being an abstraction all implmentations of the JVM have. Do we need to single out HotSpot here?

Why talk about generations?

The idea of having generations and details of garbage collection are specific to an implementation of the JVM. Why do we need to single out Sun's HotSpot JVM when we want to talk about the JVM heap? NagaSrinivas (talk) 19:38, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
