Garbage collection notification?

Question

I\'d like to register a callback with the JVM so I know when garbage collection is happening. Is there any way to do this?

EDIT: I want to do this so I can log out

If you're looking at this as a diagnostic tool, I recommend redirecting your application log to StdOut and then redirecting both StdOut and StdErr into a file. This will give you the detail of JVM logging, without forcing you to change your application code.
