Memory leaks do not occur in Java as the garbage collector clears the memory which has no references.
Java has a fairly sophisticated garbage collection system, and in general you don't worry about memory leaks, as they only happen in a few very specific circumstances (notably, when adding listeners to Swing GUI objects and not removing them). If you need more sophistcated memory management, java provides the clases in the java.lang.ref package.
memory leak
Garbage collection prevents memory leaks. In Java, the Java Virtual Machine will garbage collect whenever there is memory that has no references.
To give java more memory there are a series of steps to follow. To start, go to the computer's control panel, select programs, then go to java settings. This should initiate the Java control panel to pop up. Click on the Java tab followed by the view button. Click on the "runtime parameters" and input the specifics desired. Once finished hit okay then apply and it should increase the memory on your Java.
Objects, mainly.
That means a memory leak in a program written in Java. A memory leak means that as the program runs, more and more memory is wasted - usually by being assigned and not de-assigned again. In Java this is not as usual as in other languages, since unused memory is normally reclaimed automatically by the garbage collector.

In Java we need not allocate memory manually. The JVM would take care of allocating as much memory that your objects would require automatically.
Yes, executing a Java class will require memory just like any other program.
You cannot. Java does not allow programmers access to the memory

You can use the following to find out the memory usage information for a Java Program:Runtime.getRuntime().maxMemory()Runtime.getRuntime().totalMemory()Runtime.getRuntime().freeMemory()
The idea of garbage collection is to reclaim unused memory - getting rid of objects that are no longer used. Since in Java, the programmer doesn't have to explicitly de-allocate memory that has been allocated, that not only reduces programming effort, this also eliminates a cause of lots of errors - since an error in this respect, by the programmer, would most likely cause a so-called "memory leak".
