It's Java Real Time System (Java RTS) , which is SUN's implementation of JSR1 the Real Time Specification for Java (RTSJ) which includes Real-Time Garbage Collector (RTGC).

Thanks Vijitha but what is the difference between Real-Time Garbage Collector of Real-Time Java and Garbage Collector of Java SE? Are they same ?

Is it available in production version of JAva?

No. Generally in Java VM implementations there are non deterministic pauses in the application (which is handled by the VM) in order to reclaim the memory which no longer used by those threads run in the JVM. Both the length and frequency of those pauses are unpredictable. In Real-Time GC it gives the developer the ability to tell the GC certain things about the program behavior. Check RealTime_GC where one of the authors here talks about that.
