+/**
+ * A simple Java program to demonstrate how to enable verbose Garbage Collection (GC) logging.
+ * <p>
+ * This simple program loads 3 million {@link java.lang.String} instances into a {@link java.util.HashMap} 
+ * object before making an explicit call to the garbage collector using <code>System.gc()</code>.
+ * <p>
+ * Finally, it removes 2 million of the {@link java.lang.String} instances from the {@link java.util.HashMap}. 
+ * We also explicitly use <code>System.out.println</code> to make interpreting the output easier.
+ * <p>
+ * Run this program with the following arguments to see verbose GC logging in its complete form:
+ * <pre>
+ * -XX:+UseSerialGC -Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -verbose:gc -XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps -XX:+PrintGCDateStamps -Xloggc:/path/to/file/gc.log
+ * </pre>
+ * Where:
+ * <ul>
+ *   <li><code>-XX:+UseSerialGC</code> - specify the serial garbage collector.</li>
+ *   <li><code>-Xms1024m</code> - specify the minimal heap size.</li>
+ *   <li><code>-Xmx1024m</code> - specify the maximal heap size.</li>
+ *   <li><code>-verbose:gc</code> - activate the logging of garbage collection information in its simplest form.</li>
+ *   <li><code>-XX:+PrintGCDetails</code> - activate detailed information about garbage collection.</li>
+ *   <li><code>-XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps</code> - include a timestamp in the output reflecting the real-time passed in seconds since the JVM started.</li>
+ *   <li><code>-XX:+PrintGCDateStamps</code> - include the absolute date and time at the start of each line.</li>
+ *   <li><code>-Xloggc</code> - by default the GC log is written to stdout. Specify an output file via this argument.</li>
+ * </ul>
+ * <p>
+ * It should be noted that the first three arguments are not strictly necessary but for the purposes or the example
+ * help really simplify things.
