Not exactly a "System.gc()", but you should no How JVM's garbage collection works and which elements are considered for GC when GC threads awake (You can expect a question on this).

As Jari pointed out, explicit call to System.gc() was in the objectives of SCJP 5 but has been removed from SCJP 6...
