Perm Space reclaim

Hi,

Can Somebody please let me know if permgen space and eden space of the memory behave the same way. I mean eden space keeps growing till the used space reaches the max committed space. does permgen space behave the same way? if not is there a way I can reclaim the permgen space, the eden space I think could be reclaimed using System.gc() .

Please let me know if that is possible?

Thanks,

Samanth.
