# What's In the User Guide?

This user guide is organized as follows:

- Using the BEA JRockit Memory Management System describes how to implement the best memory management system—or garbage collection method—for your application. Garbage collection is the process of clearing dead objects from the heap, thus releasing that space for new objects.
- Starting and Configuring BEA JRockit JVM describes how to start BEA JRockit JVM and configure it to provide the best performance for your application.
- Using the BEA JRockit Management Console shows how to monitor and control running instances of BEA JRockit JVM using this graphic tool. The management console provides real-time information about the running application's characteristics, which is helpful both during development and in a deployed environment
- Using BEA JRockit JVM with Other WebLogic Applications discusses how to use the JVM configuration options to optimize BEA JRockit JVM performance with both BEA WebLogic Server and BEA WebLogic Workshop.
- Adding Custom Notification Actions and Constraints shows you how to create custom notification actions and constraints for the Management Console.
