Trigger GC in eclipse.

This is a handy for eclipse which lets you to trigger gc in the eclipse instead of waiting for the jvm to schedule the GC .

Go to Window->Preferences->General, mark Show Heap status check box.
The current Heap usage with icon for "Run Garbage Collector" will appear at the bottom right.

It helps a lot in eclipse performance.

I find it pretty handy especially because I do not shutdown eclipse often.
