* An event which can be posted onto the event queue by an application
* to trigger garbage-collection. If the event is posted onto the event
* queue as the last action in an actionPerformed() method (e.g. after
* a menu option or button is invoked), the garbage collection will
* take place <strong>after</strong> the actionPerformed() method has
* returned. This is a useful but optional way of limiting the growth
* of the heap without causing noticeable delays.
