Well FWIW a quote from the "Java in a Nutshell" book:
"No, garbage collection will never be as efficient as explicit,
well-written memory allocation and deallocation. But it does make
programming a lot easier and less prone to bugs."
Whether heap defragmentation is done or not depends on the vendor VM.
AFAIK there is no Java requirement for it, just for the VM to do
garbage collection and memory allocation.
